This site is for anyone instilling values, and solid habits to help their children through life. "For mothers are the first educators, the first mentors; and truly it is the mothers who determine the happiness, the future greatness, the courteous ways and learnings and judgement, and the faith of their little ones." -Abdu'l-Baha, B'ahai Leader
This site draws on character education and values education that are similarly taught across ALL world religions and cultures. The purpose is to support parents that are instilling values, and virtues no matter what religious or cultural background they may have.  Values can be taught both inside, and outside of traditional religion.
Use different resources each time you teach the same value! You'll find an unlimited number of teaching resources grouped by virtue or habit that you are working on (and then by age group). You'll find activities, books, music, movies and much more. The more different ways you say (or show) the same thing, the more you reinforce the values you teach.

Finding Teachable Moments

The world is a parent's classroom. There are teachable moments in everything to help you develop your child's character and values.

I created this simple board book for my young children to use when memorizing their first prayers.  The pictures are randomly from the web, and can easily be replaced with pictures of your own.  But it makes a nice keepsake.
