Changing Kids’ Lives One Quote At a Time contains 121 inspirational sayings designed to bring out the best in children and develop lasting habits. The quotes target 13 “Habits of Character,” a list that includes Cooperation, Courage, Fairness, Honesty, Kindness, Patience, Perseverance, Positive Attitude, Pride, Respect, Responsibility, Self-discipline, and Service. In addition, the sayings touch on other important ideas, such as quality, success, and health & wellness. Accompanying each quote is a set of “talking points” that parents and teachers can use as a reference when discussing the quotes with children. Though the conversations take only a few minutes, the exercise is a valuable one because it encourages kids to think deeply, because there is a high tone to the dialogue that appeals to the best in people, and because it allows your family or classroom to start the day on a positive note.
