Synopsis

"Do The Right Things" is a children's book that is aimed at addressing the negative role-modelling and anti-social behaviour that is prevalent in many communities. It also touches upon environmental issues that affect the quality of life for all living things. Issues and consequences that can be positively influenced by positive changes in attitude towards surroundings and relationships."Do The Right Things" seeks to address these issues by encouraging the awareness of self-respect, and respect for others and for our environment from an early age.By combining colour, art and poetry, the aim is to attract children's attention to issues that influence the quality of life for everyone. It also seeks to encourage an early appreciation of art and literature as a bonus to encouraging awareness and sensitivity about the benefits of considerate social interaction and behaviour."Do The Right Things" focuses mainly on young children, ages six to twelve years old, where it is intended to have a greater influence on later behaviour. However, it is also aimed at parents, teachers and adult role models as an aid to fostering positive interaction between adult and child, as well as a sense of civic pride and self-respect among children and young people. Some of the words that are used in the book are not expected to be in the vocabulary of the average six or twelve year old. Therefore a glossary of words is included at the end of the book where it is intended that adult participation would be engaged.
