Character Building: A Guide for Parents and Teachers

This book has helped me learn and understand the definition of basic virtues as friendship, order, truthfulness, etc so I can be able to talk about them, practice them, and teach them to my 5 children and my students. Is a great book to have it at home and review it once in a while.

I first read this book in english in the year 1985. Then I've read it in spanish by the year 1990. And it is surprisingly how modern it is, althought the time passes by. I strongly recommend all parents to read it. It is really worthwhile, and it helps a lot when raising a child is the theme. Mr. Isaacs asseses the theory with the practice in a natural way, and "makes it easy" the task to be a parent. This book was one of the rocks my wife and I used to raise our 7 children.
