Are you a parent concerned about passing values on to your child's? Do you worry that you can't find the time, or don't know how? You don't need thirty-minute multi-media presentations! You can do it with homework. In those precious moments you spend supervising your kids homework, here are thirteen values you can subtly pass on: 1) Responsibility: 2) Integrity: 3) Diligence: 4) Punctuality: 5) Discipline: 6) Order: 7) Justice: 8) Excellence: 9) Self-improvement: 10) Work ethic: 11) Choices: 12) Handling criticism: 13) Team spirit: These are just thirteen values you can teach at homework time (of course, not all at once!). And now that you've got the hang of it, I believe you can find some more! The key is to make the whole experience fun ' private "you-and-me" time. No judging, just nudging.
