These include sound judgement, responsibility, self-control, integrity, perseverance, courage and resilience.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book, Andrew Mullins, Headmaster of \u003ci\u003eRedfield College\u003c\/i\u003e, Sydney, argues that parents need to help build character: it does not just evolve. He explores how to encourage young people to think independently and make choices that are good for themselves and others. In his experience, young people are damaged by too readily accepting their peer group's values or messages from the media. They are able to take control of their lives once they acquire well-developed habits of thinking, decision-making and acting. The advice for parents in Parenting for Character is clear and simple: lead by example, ensure that good habits are encouraged repeatedly, nurture the spiritual dimension in your life, and show love and affection to your partner and children. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book draws on parenting principles from classical times to the present and offers advice from many sources including Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch, Confucius, Cicero, Goethe, Winston Churchill and John Paul II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Mullins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1594173788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594173783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scepter Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Andrew Mullins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588364710143,"sku":"9781594173783","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parenting-for-character-andrew-mullins-9781594173783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
