MY GOODNESS: MY KIDS: CULTIVATING DECENCY IN A DANGEROUS WORLD

Book ID/图书代码： 03235010B35616

English Summary/英文概要： Raising good kids can save the world. Good kids can help make the world a kinder, safer place. Kids who are raised to be good--above and beyond any other characteristic--mature into adults who display honor and integrity in their daily lives. Children who value goodness don’t cheat on a test to get into the college of their choice. They don’t steal candy from the grocery store or grow into adults who steal office supplies from the workplace. They treat others with respect and kindness, and they don’t hurt innocent people through violence, manipulation, or cruelty. If every parent focused first and foremost on goodness, society could minimize many of today’s biggest problems: violence, cruelty, dishonesty, thievery, narcissism, exploitation, mistrust, substance abuse, arrogance, and more. My Goodness: My Kids offers its readers thought-provoking theories and techniques that contribute to raising Good Kids. Here are some examples of what readers will learn. No curfew for teenagers can build trust and respect--and get your kids home earlier than expected. Not paying for grades can teach children to love learning--for the pure joy of it. Early education about sex and drugs can reduce experimentation during teenage years. Asking children to design their punishment can increase harmony in the home and teach consequences to actions. Certain R-rated movies can teach children to think through issues and develop strength of character. Telling your child "I’m sorry" can heal a family hurt and promote unity. Encouraging children to argue can develop their confidence and self worth. No assigned chores can inspire children to cheerfully pitch in.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本書幫助父母在小孩的品格發展成熟以前，預先做好教養準備，找出品格建立的時機

一個資質優秀的小孩，若無良好品性作為根基，非但無法發揮原有的潛質，更可能在未來成為社會問題。因此，長遠來看，品格教育應視為孩童教育的起步，遠比期待小孩「優秀」、「成績好」更為重要。
My Goodness 這本書結合理論與方法，協助父母親做好小孩的「品格教育」。
舉例來說：
à不強制要求小孩在幾點前要回到家，反而讓小孩更少在外流連忘返，並幫助建立你與小孩之間的互信與互相尊重
à不用錢做為獎勵小孩拿到好成績的誘因，反倒可以讓小孩子自行發現學習的樂趣
à提早和小孩討論性的問題，可以降低小孩因為好奇心與無知而偷嘗禁果的風險
à讓小孩自己決定懲罰的方式，反而會讓小孩更懂得衝動行事的後果，更可減少家長與小孩之間的不和情緒
à鼓勵小孩提出反駁，反倒可以提升小孩對自己的自信心與自我肯定(KC)
