Character Building

Building Good Character: Level A The use of Character-Building Cards is a positive way to reinforce good behavior and the practice of virtue and courtesy in young children. The cards in Level A, designed for ages four to six, focus on seven key attitudes: obedience, honesty, cheerfulness, helpfulness, generosity, thankfulness, and the Golden Rule. How to use Building Good Character, Level A : Once a month, post a new Theme Card in a prominent place. Throughout the month, be generous in applying stickers to the card when you see your

child putting the character goal into action. At the end of each week, reward your child with a small treat or privilege for practicing good behavior. At the beginning of each of the three remaining weeks of the month, have your child color one of the “Angel Antics” coloring pages. These coloring pages reinforce the Theme Card by gently reminding the child how he can continue practicing the character goal of the month. The monthly Theme Cards feature the endearing art of Sr. Maria Innocentia Hummel, a world-famous German Franciscan Sister and artist from the 1930s and 40s. Full color! 54 pages. 8½"×11" cardstock cards. Loose-leaf. Pages are not reproducible; each child will need his own set. Ages 4–6. BGCA $16.95
