Making choices is one of the more pervasive acts of life. Almost
every action we take demands that choices be made. Knowing how to
choose wisely, to choose after reflection, to be aware of what
motivates that choice, to see the consequences of that choice on
others enables us to live healthier, more productive and more
responsible lives. We now live in a world in which our traditional
moral exemplars have been less than honorable in their public
behavior. With fewer “heroes” and flawed role models, how are
children to come to an understanding of what’s right, what’s
good, decent and socially responsible? “Do as I say, not as I
do” is hardly a viable tenet to guide children’s choices. This
book offers important tools for carrying out effective strategies
that build caring environments in the classroom and home; for
teaching children to weigh decisions in the face of potential
consequences, examine rationales for their choices, and study the
effects of their choices on others, i.e., to think more carefully
about ethical problems, in the presence of the moral freedom to
determine for themselves what it means to lead a good and virtuous
life.
