Raising Children with Virtues

You get a child, and suddenly, you’re a parent. But how do you bring it up? In this cheerful book with its comic-strip drawings, Annelies Wiersma brings the theory to life with examples from her courses based upon Linda Kavelin-Popov’s educative methods. Wiersma tells us in a touching, funny, and intimate way about the practice she knows best: raising her own son.

Linda Kavelin Popov says in the foreword:
“What do all parents want for their children? For them to be happy and for them to be good. The two are deeply connected, because a good character leads to a positive destiny. Every parent also needs tools to bring out the best in each child – to awaken their kindness, respect, flexibility, compassion, and even their joy. Annelies Wiersma offers the honest, open perspective of a mother applying the tools and strategies of The Virtues Project and my book, The Family Virtues Guide to make them deeply useful and totally accessible in everyday life. I heartily recommend that all parents read her book and enjoy her insights, her humour, and her practical wisdom.”
