 “Character Matters: Raising Kids with Values that Last!” with Susan Alexander Yates

It’s hard to be a parent. It’s really tough in today’s culture with so many values: the best education, material possessions, health, social status and significance. Our kids are pulled in every direction. And we are too. How do we decide what is really important in life? How do we raise kids with integrity, compassion, self discipline, a servant’s heart and courage when we fall so short ourselves? Character isn’t something we achieve and then zap our kids with. Instead it’s a lifetime of growing- both for us parents and for our children.
