Creating Character in the Growing Years is a company formed for the express purpose of providing educational tools for teachers, parents, and all educators to help create good character in children - positive traits that are sadly lacking in our culture today. The writers have attempted to develop an effective approach that can be summed up this way:

What's T.R.U.E. about good character?

Tell: Tell your children that having good character is important. It tells others what you are really like on the inside - not just what people see on the outside.

Reinforce: Reinforce the teaching of good character traits with examples that will remind the children what each concept means in practical terms.

Understand: Help children understand what each character trait means to them on a personal level. Make it relevant.

Engage: Engage your children with activities that will include the family and community.

Our hope is that through our curriculum, parents and educators will feel better equipped to do this important job.
