This spring I had the pleasure of reviewing "E is for Ethics", a collection of twenty-six short stories about everyday situations faced by two children, Elliott and Lucy. Each story deals with a particular value such as Fairness, Honesty, Gratitude, Acceptance and so on. Author Ian James Corlett, makes each story simple and real, so any child can relate to the ethical dilemmas that Elliott and Lucy face.
Alfie and I have found this book to be an invaluable tool in teaching our children about morals and opening up discussions about ethical situation and the "right" thing to do. So I was delighted when the publishers contacted me and offered to give a copy of this book away on my blog! One lucky Bonggamom Finds reader will win a copy of "E is for Ethics" by Ian James Corlett for their very own!

Right now I would have to say Honesty is the most important value for my son to learn. Lying is starting to pop up here and there. When you are honest, other values will come into play as well.

I am trying to teach my son about the importance of respect. He is starting Kindergarten this week and I really want to make sure that he respects his teacher. At 4 1/2 he already talks back to me sometimes and I am determined to not let this behavior get out of hand.
