Building Character

[fourhills]

I am planning on teaching my two boys six and eight about building character. Are there any websites you would recommend for me to use? I have a couple of books but they seem 'light'. So far I have:

caring
citizenship
fairness
respect

Thanks in advance

You may find you have an easier time if you research "philosophy for children" rather than "character".

Here is a site with books that help you through tough and sticky ethical childhood dilemnas:

There is a formal curriculum out there - the early books have a rabbit take you through various scenarios. I can't find it right now, and memory escapes me (it's been years). We enjoyed the formal program, but when it gets right down to it, you can do the same with library books and conversation.

Thank you magistramom,
It is a great site.
