The Mom's Toolkit™: Children, Character, and Chores
The Mom's Toolkit includes not only this book, but also an accompanying website (www.themomstoolkit.com). Together, the book and website are excellent tools to make the world's toughest job, parenting, a lot easier! The book outlines a parenting program for children ages three through the teenage years that will equip parents with the knowledge and skills to raise responsible, respectful children with good character. Your children will even begin doing chores and homework without being asked. The Mom's Toolkit provides countless suggestions and creative ideas for ways parents can implement the program and interact with their children. Our book includes many great tips and pieces of information, including instructions on how to access our website, which provides kid-friendly chore and character game charts based on your child's interests or hobbies. The book includes over 100 activities for family fun to help you spend quality time with your family, as well as 50 plus ideas for rewards and incentives for preschool, elementary, and teenaged children. The book also covers topics such as timeouts, manners, bedtime, consequences, spoiling our children, and more. The Mom's Toolkit was designed by mother and daughter team Laura Lange and Rosie Mae McDougall. Besides their parenting experience, together they have over thirty-five years of teaching experience in the elementary and middle school classroom. Both Laura and Rosie Mae are hoping this program will improve America's families and help to foster the development of good character in many children's lives in an effort to make the world's toughest job, parenting, a little bit easier. "As a parent I have found the Six Pillars of Character to be helpful tools in raising our children, and I believe The Mom's Toolkit provides exceptional commonsense advice and tips on how to build the character competencies necessary for excellence in our families." - Scott Raecker, Executive Director of Character Counts In Iowa
