................... Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I would like something that is very serious, not kiddy, or silly...that deals with such topics as: Self control thoughtfulness care of one's own and others' possessions kindness not being rude/not interrupting what to do when lonely, how to find contentment staying focused/performing one's duties Our daughter is a bit self focused and immature. She really needs some concentrated prayer, and loving training on how to be a kind, and self controlled little lady. She is having trouble with her friends, in class situations, and at home and is constantly getting unfocused, hurt, and even injured.. she needs to be able to know ahead of time, what to do in given situations.. Thank you so much in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 With my daughter I read a book called "Dude That's Rude!" I found it was helpful to have specific, direct advice. Also, She had an easier time accepting suggestions about behavior from a book than from her mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitterpatter Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Probably not a first pick for this, but American Girl Kaya hits on a lot of those traits. Our library has the original series on audiobook. DD has listened to them several times and picked up some positive behaviors. But, I guess it would depend on your DD's interests too. Definitely not from a Christian perspective, but the stories are about Kaya learning self control, responsibility and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks. My dd has read Kaya and she definitely was one of our favorite characters. But, she is a little old for that and I wanted something straight to the point. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitterpatter Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 No problem. My DD is only seven, so I don't know how old ten really is yet. Hah! Thanks. My dd has read Kaya and she definitely was one of our favorite characters. But, she is a little old for that and I wanted something straight to the point. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
