Tolerance, respect, compassion and other values start at home, in
healthy, strong relationships between the generations. These stories
provide practical, insightful tips for parents and grandparents looking
to strengthen their families and raise successful children.
As role models, parents and grandparents teach good values, like
tolerance, accepting differences, shedding prejudices, and making good
decisions. And having those traits makes us more successful as adults,
too.
The personal stories in this collection not only show adult readers how
to be their best selves, but also offer great advice on how to raise
resilient, confident, upstanding kids -- kids who exhibit all the
qualities of acceptance, courage, and inner strength. These stories
provide practical, insightful tips for parents and grandparents looking
to strengthen their families and raise caring, confident, successful
children.
This book harnesses the power of storytelling to inspire and teach while
also entertaining readers. Key issues such as bullying; religious,
ethnic, and lifestyle tolerance; values; and making good decisions are
addressed in stories selected from Chicken Soup for the Soul's vast
library of bestselling books, representing the best on these topics from
the company's 22-year history.
This book is a joint project of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Boniuk
Foundation, which are working together to promote tolerance, respect,
and compassion, inspiring young people and adults to embrace their
differences, reject stereotypes, and make good choices. It's part of a
larger effort that includes additional books for kids and preteens,
teens, and college students, as well as a family television show every
Saturday morning starting in October.
