mommyoftwinboys Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Although we won't be starting *school* until the fall(we need the break after ps this year) I really would like to do some character training and Bible with the boys this summer. We had such a big transistion this year with entering ps K and moving that church has fallen behind. We just found a church we like and now I would love to have something to do this summer with the boys. My one son has developed some *bad* habits and has alot of questions. I would love some guidance with a book or a study. Do you recommend anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Anna Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I've got a copy of a book titled, A Child's Book of Character Building, Book I: Growing Up in God's World - At Home, at School, at Play by Ron and Rebekah Coriell. I tried using it with my dd1 last summer - she was turning 4 then - and I think she was a bit young for it. Anyway, it goes through 12 character traits (Attentive, Faith, Creative, Diligence, Patience, Contentment, Obedience, etc.). For each trait, it gives an easy to memorize definition, a verse from the KJV Bible, and four one-page stories with a picture (that could be colored, I suppose) for each. You'll have "Attentive in the Bible," "Attentive at Home," "Attentive at School," and "Attentive at Play," etc. I don't know if that's what you're looking for, but it's at least an idea! HTH, Mama Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornopean Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 These books might be a trifle old but you might find something here. http://del.icio.us/cornopean/charactertraining I would also note that any book like the Mcguffey readers will have stories that are very "morals" oriented. http://del.icio.us/cornopean/1streader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Anna Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 If I remember correctly, it was at a Family Christian Store up in Indiana where we used to live. I just looked it up on Amazon.com and it's under $13.00 new. Does it sound like what you're looking for? Mama Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieMonster Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 You might want to look at this. I just found one by accident, used, and I am in love! It will help me walk my young children through essential doctrine while I am also teaching them the stories, places, and names of the Bible using a children's Bible. Devotions for the Children's Hour on Amazon. (Incidentally, if you're interested, I intend to severly alter, or simply skip, two of the 48 lessons because they do not agree with my theology. But, all the rest are gems. I intend to use one lesson a day, over 48 days.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
