Description of technique for teaching kids values:
I have a the Secrets of Life & Words of Wisdom Life Learning Device sitting on our breakfast table. Each morning one of the kids presses it to hear a quote, mantra or positive belief system from some of history's greatest achievers.
This device has been great! I hear my little 6 year old spitting out quotes that help build a strong positive character.
The best part about the device is that it is easy and consistent. We hit it everday and discuss the quote and give examples of what it means.
