What a lovely list of qualities to encourage in your children. Charlene Constanzo weaves the value of these ideals in a lovely series of books, The Twelve Gifts. I was at a friend’s house this evening and read The Twelve Gifts of Birth. This is a great book to read with your child; it is the doorway to a dialogue on the value of self… something our children need to be taught, now more than ever.
Even if you don’t buy the book, that list up there is a great one to try to encourage in your child. And yourself.
