Helping Parents Shape the Character of Their Teens
Character is Shaped One Decision at a Time
Short, true stories give parents a simple way to start conversations
about the values and decisions that shape their teen's future.
Why I Created This Program
How The Program Works
Each week, parents receive a
short true story that brings an
important value to life and gives
them a simple way to discuss
that value with their teen.

The Values That Shape Character
Each weekly story focuses on a character value—from respect, honesty and responsibility to courage, compassion and
perseverance—helping teens and preteens think about the choices they make, the way they treat
others, and the kind of person
they are becoming.
