Teaching Kids Principles – Principles of Our World

Jenny, 5 Minutes for Mom contributor, is here to share with you a fun educational app for kiddos. This post is sponsored, but all opinions remain those of the writer.

It’s no secret that our world has a lot of problems. As a parent, it can be challenging to know how to discuss these problems with our kids. How can we teach them the negative results of dishonesty or selfishness or lack of compassion without scaring them?

principles of our world 2

Most often, the task of teaching positive qualities to our children is up to us parents. Schools are so busy imparting information to students that instilling integrity is often pushed aside.

That’s why the new children’s book series Principles of our World book series is a great resource for both parents and teachers that can be used to teach vital character traits to children.

principles 3

Through the use of fun characters and interesting stories, these books teach the importance and meaning of positive character traits. Each book contains a note to parents and teachers, short and intriguing stories, and application activities.

The Principles of our World books touch on the following qualities:

  • Honesty
  • Compassion
  • Sacrifice
  • Teamwork
  • Courage
  • Hope
  • Perseverance
  • Commitment
  • Understanding
  • Giving
  • Self-Control
  • Encouragement

These illustrated books are great for any age.  Even my two-year-old enjoyed looking through them and pointing at the pictures.  

Principles of our world

She would ask who the characters were and I was able to briefly explain what was happening in each scene and to discuss the quality with her, without even reading the entire book. These books can grow with your child and allow you to start valuable conversations with your kids about vital principles.

Now, more than ever, our world needs kids with strong principles. The Principles of our World series is one step towards instilling those principles and making our world a better place.

    I give my kids something to look up to as a good role model. Kids copy everything you do, so set a good example and instead of scolding and yelling, explain why what they are doing is wrong.

    Social networking actually skillfully managed Search Engine

    is to buy supporters (with just some ticks!) and how minimal they prices
    to do this (essentially pennies!). .

    We have been focussing lately on the quote “If you have to choose between being right and being kind, choose kind.” Not sure who said it!

    I try to teach by example, tolerance, kindness and love. Also when we see actions that are not positive we try to point it out that is not the correct behavior.
