Am cumparat mai multe carti despre problema caracterului de pe site-ul unei familii de homeschooleri(vad ca si-au deschis propria afacere cu carti) - http://www.thelearningparent.com..
Mi-a placut lista cu calitati- pe care au incercat sa le defineasca cu ajutorul pasajelor din Biblie (am facut o traducere in romana).
Am printat lista si am facut un joc cu copiii, sa vad daca pot sa-mi dea o definitie sau un exemplu pentru fiecare..
Au fost foarte receptivi.
