Teaching Your Children Values
by Richard Eyre, Linda Eyre
From Library Journal
The authors present practical methods to teach children about values over a
12-month period. The Eyres are the authors of several parenting books (e.g.,
Teaching Children Joy , Ballantine, 1986) as well as hosts of the television
show Families Are Forever. Their latest book is well researched and interesting.
The authors cover a wide range of values, including honesty, courage,
peaceability, self-reliance, self-discipline, fidelity and chastity, loyalty,
respect, love, unselfishness, kindness, and justice. Each value is examined
alongside anecdotes that involve the authors' children. Many activities (games,
awards, family meetings, etc.) are recommended for preschoolers, adolescents,
and teenagers. This book will prove helpful to both parents and teachers. Highly
recommended for most libraries.

Book Description
One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is a strong sense of
personal values. Helping your children develop values such as honesty,
self-reliance, and dependability is as important a part of their education as
teaching them to read or how to cross the street safely. The values you teach
your children are their best protection from the influences of peer pressure and
the temptations of consumer culture. With their own values clearly defined, your
children can make their own decisions -- rather than imitate their friends or
the latest fashions. In Teaching Your Children Values Linda and Richard Eyre
present a practical, proven, month-by-month program of games, family activities,
and value-building exercises for kids of all ages.

Empathy and Moral Development :
Implications for Caring and Justice
by Martin L. Hoffman
Book Description
Contemporary theories have generally focused on either the behavioral, cognitive
or emotional dimensions of prosocial moral development. This volume provides the
first comprehensive account of prosocial moral development in children. The
book's focus is empathy's contribution to altruism and compassion for others in
physical, psychological, or economic distress; feelings of guilt over harming
someone; feelings of anger at others who do harm; feelings of injustice when
others do not receive their due. Also highlighted are the psychological
processes involved in empathy's interaction with certain parental behaviors that
foster moral internalization in children and the psychological processes
involved in empathy's relation to abstract moral principles. |

Teaching Your Children Sensitivity
by Linda Eyre, Richard Eyre
Editorial Reviews
Although the task of helping typically self-absorbed children become aware
of the needs and feelings of others is daunting, sensitivity lies at the heart
of those values and qualities responsible parents strive to develop in their
offspring. The authors of Teaching Your Children Values (1993) explore the
concept of sensitivity to others and how to nurture it and propose a practical
nine-month program of skills and awareness development. Progressing through
understanding, observing, feeling, communicating, and doing, the Eyres provide
practical advice, illustrative stories, parental approaches, and exercises for
reinforcing those sensitivity skills. The fresh techniques they advocate, like
writing poetry and playing detective, are to help children and their parents
hone their abilities to be more honest about their own feelings, more aware of
others'. The inspirational, interesting process the Eyres present will make
being good more enjoyable for children and doing good more meaningful for
adolescents.

Empathy: A Social
Psychological Approach (Social Psychology Series)
by Mark H. Davis
Customer Reviews
Reviewer: A reader
This exceptional academic book should be considered a benchmark in
the research on the social psychology of empathy and altruism.
Covering both the affective and cognitive, individual differences,
origins, and interpersonal aspects of empathy, this book summarizes
completely and clearly numerous theories in this area. Dr. Davis
writes in a clearly knowledgeable style that is both compelling and
humorous. This is definitely a must for any psychologist in the area
of interpersonal relations, and for anyone looking to understand the
kindness and understanding that is exhibited by humanity.
