Summary

Praise for Good Kids,Tough Choices

"Rush Kidder's Good Kids, Tough Choices is great for every parent who wants practical advice about how to raise kids with good character who do the right thing. He doesn't offer platitudes or one size to fit all, but he shows how to approach every moral question in the context of the individual situation. Rush has done his homework and has the research to prove it, from his own studies all over the world."—Michele Borbaauthor, Building Moral Intelligence and The Big Book of Parenting Solutions; parenting expert for the Today show

"Rush Kidder's brilliant tool for the twenty-first-century family will benefit parents who want their children to develop ethical fitness. It's a must-read for every family."—Rear Admiral Barry C. Black (Ret.)Chaplain of the United States Senate and former Navy Chief of Chaplains

"I just loved this book, especially all the anecdotes and stories. [I] couldn't put it down. It's a lesson study illustrating vividly the moral dilemmas that parents and kids of all ages face daily, providing a beacon of light into the dark confusion over how to raise good kids."—Patrick F. Bassettpresident, National Association of Independent Schools

"As they read Kidder's true stories illustrating ethical dilemmas kids face from toddlerhood into young adulthood, concerned parents will tell themselves, 'I can relate to that.' When they see how he parses each story's complex ethical issues and shows ways to apply abiding principles to these everyday situations at various stages of their children's lives, parents will say, 'We can model that and teach it to our kids!'"—Jim Rettig university librarian, Boatwright Memorial Library, University of Richmond; past president of the American Library Association
