“Help! My angel has become a monster!” This is a common lament of parents everywhere as their children approach the dreaded stage of adolescence. Suddenly problems are much more complicated than they used to be, and many parents despair of ever bringing their children through them. The worries are often legitimate: peer pressures, rampant immorality, and other evils tempt today’s youth as never before.
But, say authors Linda and Richard Eyre, there is an answer, a solution that is as powerful and far-reaching as the problems we confront. That solution is charity, and it can be acquired by teenagers even preteens as antidote to the self-centeredness that is the root of most teenage problems.
Teaching Children Charity is a method book with practical advice and a month-by-month program for developing charity in children and parents. The concrete suggestions and inspiring examples in this work make it evident that charity, the most important of virtues, is within everyone’s grasp.
Like its predecessors Teaching Children Joy and Teaching Children Responsibility, this book is for all parents who want to take an active part in their children’s eternal development. By applying the principles in Teaching Children Charity, parents will receive the added benefit of increased understanding and love in their own lives.
