Lux Et Veritas Academy Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 what are you using for character education? How are you teaching it and is it formal or worked into life skills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetest Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I spend a lot of time talking to my oldest about what makes good character...trying your hardest, being a good friend, being truthful even when it means you're going to get into trouble...that kind of thing. It is just an everyday part of our interactions as parent/child. I also point out good character when I see it in her or others and in our reading (like in all of the Little House books!) I believe the most important aspect of character education is my (and my husband's) example...we try to remember that too (but sometimes fall short!)

MIch elle Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 along with lit. analysis, critical thinking, vocabulary and more. I highly recommend it! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christianlightfamilies/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Dad Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I don't use a separate curriculum, although there are a few character study pages in Lively Latin. We also talk about character issues in the context of our reading. But to me, character is really forged in two ways: by imitating good models (including literary, historical, and religious ones) and by working through real-life challenges. I find a lot of the character training curricula I've seen pretty hokey and forced, honestly. I'd rather use teachable moments as they arise in our studies and in our lives.
