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 think about the choices they make, the way they treat others, and the kind of person they are becoming.
What Parents Are Saying
“My son is 9 and he is still benefiting from the discussions with my older child. I especially appreciate
that it promotes good character and lends to a more critical way of thinking.”— Anna M., CA
“These are trying times, and I am so happy to have something, anything, to share with my children
that can provide them with inspiration and morals that I can stand behind.”— Nicole A., GA
"I spent some time this morning watching some of your videos and they are fantastic!
Knowing some homeschooling moms, I will pass your course along to them.”— Aaron W., MN
