Habits: The Mother’s Friend

Description

The Development of Mental and Moral Character in Children

If you are tired of nagging, yellng, bribing, manipulating, or coercing to get your children to behave in a certain way, then this book will teach you how you can joyfully and habitually train your children in lifelong skills of habit and ease of self-management.

Habits can be formed or changed in many areas of moral and mental development. It is by using this tool that a mother can mold and shape her children’s character without the task becoming overwhelming or tedious for her or her children. Some of the mental and moral habits addressed in this book are fear, courage, pride, pretense, manners, order, obedience, truth, industry, leisure, and a chapter on special needs with a focus on autism.
