These are books I plan to get out of the library and take a quick look at (at some point in the unspecified future). Not because I need for people to tell me how to instill character in my children, but because I'm interested in seeing where the conversation on this subject is centered, and it's always good to be reminded of where my values and priorities lie. Even books I disagree with can help clarify that for me.
Although, honestly, at first glance, books about children thinking for themselves just make me laugh. We don't seem to have much of a problem with that around here. I would prefer a book about raising children who can understand their mother knows more than they do. Well, we'll see what these people have to say.
