Even elementary school children can build positive character traits like caring, citizenship, cooperation, courage, fairness, honesty, respect, and responsibility. The true stories, inspiring quotations, thought-provoking dilemmas, and activities in this book help kids grow into capable, moral teens and adults. This guide includes: (1) self-reflection quizzes; (2) true stories about real kids with character; (3) descriptions of ten important character traits; (4) activities students can do to build character traits; (5) What If? situations that challenge thinking; and (6) resources including books, organizations, and Web sites for learning more about the character traits. Previously titled "Being Your Best," this award-winning book is for kids and their parents and teachers. [For "What Do You Stand For? For Kids: A Leader's Guide CD-ROM" see ED512058.]
