I want the best for my children. I want them to be strong & healthy, to have a sense of right and wrong, to be able to make good choices as they grow older. As a mom I try so hard to train them up in the way of the Lord. To have good character traits. It isn't easy and there are so many options out there.
This month I received ARTISTS & Authors by Lorrie Flem. This is such a great idea for character training and I absolutely love how simple it is to use. When I received this in the mail, my oldest (who is 10), was practically chomping at the bit when he found out it was for him to use. He is my artist (though he loves to write too) and to encourage that natural ability, I chose this particular book for my review.
I could have also chosen AUTHORS & Artists which focus' more on the writing aspect rather than drawing.
The lessons in this book are short but easy to understand. I share the lesson with my boys and ask a couple of questions then let my oldest do his drawing. The book is labeled by theme so that way if you want to focus on something, such as honesty or forgiveness, then you can work on those first. It also has themes for the holidays and their birthday. In glancing over them (cause it's not time to do them yet), I am excited to see what my son draws for them. :)
I can't wait to see how he continues to grow as we work through this book. I definitely plan on getting another one for my 2nd school aged son. :) These books will be a great treasure for years to come and I am excited to have this in our tool kit for character training.
Now for the fun part! There is a giveaway for EACH book over at Lorrie's Blog, Randy's Rib.
