Just Because it's Not Wrong Doesn't Make it Right: From Toddlers to Teens, Teaching Kids to Think and Act Ethically

We live in a world where children are so often given the message that the ends justify the means; where harmful, even violent behaviour - in families, in communities, and around the world - goes unnoticed, unmitigated, and often unrepented; where children's ethical education can come from a T-shirt slogan or bumper sticker, an Internet site, or the evening news; where rigid moral absolutism or moral relativism has replaced true ethical thinking. In a world such as ours, Just Because It''s Not Wrong Doesn't Make It Right is an essential tool.

Beginning with the idea that it is in us to care that we are born with an innate capacity for compassion and caring, Coloroso shows parents how to nurture and guide children''s ethical lives from toddlerhood through the teen years using everyday situations at home, at school, in social settings, and in the world at large.
