Every parent wants to try to help their children make the best decisions in life but sometimes are at a loss of what to do. There are only so many things you can tell your kids before they start accusing you of “nagging” or being over cautious of what they do and say. Sandra McLeod Humphrey came up with a great idea to have interactive books that kids can read to help them see different perspectives in multiple scenarios. Her series is named, “What Would You Do?” because it positions the reader in the place of the written characters and compels them to think about what moral choices they could make in these particular situations. “It is never too early to begin talking with our young people about personal values and helping them define their own code of moral conduct”, Humphreys explains.
The What Would You Do series contains three books focused on building ethics early:
If You Had to Choose, What Would You Do?
If You Had to Choose, What Would You Do? The first book in the What Would You Do? series, has received rave reviews. A collection of twenty-five, fun-to-read stories and illustrations, each covering a different topic concerning questions of character and ethics. A great way to prepare kids for tough decisions in the future and a fun way for parents and teachers to share in the process.
It’s Up to You… What Would You Do?
It’s Up To You… What Do You Do? The second book in the What Would You Do? series, continues with twenty-five new stories. Each story covers a different topic concerning questions of character and ethics. They are fun to read and accompanied by illustrations that kids enjoy. Another great way to prepare kids for tough decisions in the future and a fun way for parents and teachers to share in the process.
