Every day it seems half our conversations with young people is made up of commands dealing with character and niceties--all issues that need to be addressed and not ignored. But how is it working? Do you find yourself back at square one the next day with a child acting as though they had no idea they shouldn?t be lying? In Parenting with a Story author Paul Smith one of the world?s leading experts in organizational storytelling shows that when stories are used to illustrate to children how choices and consequences play out in the real world with real people the impact will be far more profound than the relentless commands that are forgotten or ignored as soon as the parent turns away. This collection of 101 narratives from people around the world and from all walks of life includes lessons that illuminate the power of character integrity curiosity creativity grit kindness patience gratitude and other essential characteristics every parent should be trying to instill in their children. Sometimes heart-wrenching sometimes funny always compelling these stories impart wisdom and help steer choices about: ? Resisting peer pressure? Remaining open-minded? Being humble? Making courageous decisions? Standing by their word? Bouncing back from failure? Showing compassion? Picking friends wisely? And moreThroughout all of history stories have been used to help shape who we are and who we aspire to come. But effective storytelling doesn?t have to be reserved for teachers writers and preachers.
