Compass: A Handbook on Parent Leadership

In Compass: A Handbook on Parent Leadership, James B. Stenson has created the definitive plan for raising children right. Stenson has spent three decades interviewing hundreds of families in order to determine how parents can raise their children into " competent, responsible, considerate, and generous men and women who are committed to live by principles of integrity." Compass is a true roadmap for the great adventure that is family life. This work is intended for a husband and wife to read together, learning key skills such as: Forming children' s characters to help them make sound judgments in the short- and long-terms Instilling virtue in children while preserving " the great loves" of childhood Cultivating a " sporting adventure family," rather than a consumerist family that enshrines materialism and the media Encouraging a culture of discipline in the home, and why " discipline" does not mean " damage control" or " punishment" Adopting the qualities of effective parent leaders by sharing " one heart and will" as parents As a founding member of two successful independent secondary schools, educator, and the leader of numerous conferences on parent leadership, Stenson has made it his life' s mission to share the formula for raising children into adults of integrity and virtue.  Compass is a necessity for engaged couples, newlyweds, expecting parents, and parents with young children. Through this passion-filled read, parents will have an exhaustive guide for joyfully raising children into faithful, principled adults.…
