Summary

Tell a young person what to do--play fair, be yourself, stick to the task at hand--and most will tune you out. But show them how choices and consequences play out in the real world, with real people, and the impact will be far more profound. "Parenting with a Story" gathers 101 narratives from people around the world and from all walks of life, reflecting unexpected moments of clarity about who they are and how they should treat others. The lessons illuminate the power of character--integrity, curiosity, creativity, grit, kindness, patience, gratitude, and more--to prepare us for anything. --Amazon.com
