Good Kids, Tough Choices: How Parents Can Help Their Children Do the Right Thing

Kidder addresses one of the most important sectors the Institute will ever reach: The 21st-century parents who, despite powerful social counter-forces, are shaping the character, integrity, and moral courage of tomorrow's leaders.

To help parents address the moral blur facing today's youth, this book uses three "lenses" or frameworks drawn from the Institute's research:

  • Knowing what's right
  • Making tough choices
  • Standing for conscience

Through compelling story-telling and practical analysis, Kidder helps parents apply these tools to find comfortable ways to talk with their children about what's right - without sounding self-righteous.
