The Family Values Toolkit

With the help of parents and psychology experts, Beliefnet has identified the core values that underlie ethical behavior. But how do we teach these values to the next generation?

Each month, our editors will unveil a new gallery, plus a "Family Values Toolkit" to help children of all age ranges appreciate the difference between right and wrong. Inside each Toolkit, you’ll find a value overview, plus goals and activities to post on your fridge. It's our hope these tools will help provide a roadmap to guide children along the path to adulthood.
