Staceyshoe Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I've decided that we'll focus on a particular character trait each month. During that month, we'll do a lesson related to the character trait maybe 3-5 times per week (depending on how much running around we are doing). I'm just pulling some things from Doorposts' Plants Grown Up, Shiver's Academy's Book of Virtues Project, and I'll be leaning very heavily on Kids of Integrity. Any other suggestions for ways to involve my preschooler? I think the KOI stuff will be a good fit for him, but not the rest. Are there any online resources, books, or bloggers who have focused on character training for the preschool ages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKKJ04 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I highly recommend Shepherding a Childs Heart a a good parental read/resource. Check out For Instruction In Righteousness from Doorposts. We Choose Virtues is great. I am starting Get Wisdom after the break. Also confession of a homeschooler has come character stuff on her blog. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmschooling Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hope you found what you're looking for! We often use Wise Words for Moms (thoughts and review about it here on my blog) alongside We Choose Virtues. WCV is perfect for the everyday character and habit training that reaches their mind and hearts...but the other is perfect for when discipline is needed and to take that training a step farther. Beyond routine character forming, and beyond "you're in trouble". And it's all about the heart behind the offense. It's wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
