How to raise kind kids : and get respect, gratitude, and a happier family in the bargain / by Lickona, Thomas.;
"Can you teach a child to be kind? This vital question is taking on a new urgency as our culture grows ever more abrasive and divided. We all want our kids to be kind.

A world-renowned developmental psychologist, Dr. Thomas Lickona has led the character education movement in schools for forty years. Now he shares with parents the vital tools they need to bring peace and foster cooperation at home. Kindness doesn't stand on its own. It needs a supporting cast of other essential virtues--like courage, self-control, respect, and gratitude. With concrete examples drawn from the many families Dr. Lickona has worked with over the years and clear tips you can act on tonight, How to Raise Kind Kids will help you give and get respect, hold family meetings to tackle persistent problems, discipline in a way that builds character, and improve the dynamic of your relationship with your children while putting them on the path to a happier and more fulfilling life"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Why kindness matters -- Does our culture cultivate kindness? -- Kids' capacity for kindness-- and cruelty-- is there from the start -- How to create a positive family culture : 6 key principles -- 10 essential virtues that help kids be kind -- Respect and fairness -- Discipline : what's in your toolbox? -- Family meetings : working together to create a happier family -- Getting control of screens -- How to help your kids develop good habits (and break bad ones) -- Cut the complaining! : 10 ways to teach and practice gratitude -- Using stories to teach kindness and other virtues -- Schools that cultivate kindness -- How to help your kids avoid the dangers of a hypersexualized culture-- and find true love -- Appendix A; Character quotations for the 10 essential virtues -- Appendix B: Books that teach values -- Appendix C; Family projects that foster kindness and purpose.

When Dr. Maker was diagnosed in 2011, she, like most people, knew almost nothing about breast cancer. What she did know is that she didn’t feel safe simply following her doctors’ advice. She needed to understand for herself all her treatment options, the statistical outcomes for each option, and all the potential side effects, so she could make informed decisions. Because of her academic background and expertise as a researcher, she discovered a great deal about the disease and its treatments that few lay people are aware of. The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer is the story of her journey and the things she learned along the way. This information helped her to make informed decisions about her treatment, and it also helped her to make the lifestyle changes that she hopes will keep her in remission. This is the book she wished she had before, during, and after her treatment. -- from the publisher.
