Welcome to the “ABC’s of Values for Children” series!Below, you will find a clickable list of the most important values to teach your children.
“To educate a person in mind and not morals is to educate a menace to society” ~Theodore Roosevelt
“100 doctorates from the finest universities in the world cannot compensate for a lack of values and character. Values are central to your children’s success and fulfillment in life. After all, who is so intelligent that he is happy without love? What person is so brilliant that she has no need for thankfulness? Yet, even the poor and uneducated will be revered if they are honest. These values are universally admired. That is why instilling them in our young children is so important.”
~ Blue Manor’s “Book of Virtues”

Great list! Nice post!
You are such a wealth of knowledge. This series is a great idea. I especially enjoy how you suggest books and games for the child corresponding to the value.
Thank you for sharing.

Your ABC’s are pretty interesting. My child would have hard time into understanding some of them. My child’s education is just part of my priority because raising him up the proper(filled with love) and cool way is my top priority.
Yes, some of these values are hard even for adults to grasp. However, it is my goal to offer resources to help you begin that process of understanding. Thanks for stopping by!

Hmmm … well, A-L are clickable anyway.
I know wisdom is good, I need to figure out how to justify it though. I need a paper trail and the bible verse isn’t likely to cut it. Faith is easily replaced as confidence.
Just pinned this post. Fantastic resource! Thanks for putting it together, Janine!
Thanks so much Amy!
Hi … love this list. Have ordered some of your Elite Education E-books and am excited about finding your site. I homeschool one of my granddaughter’s for preschool and just love it. Are you aware that only A-L are clickable? Are you still working on M-Z or is it just an error on the page.
Thanks in advance for your reply…..Grammy Becca
Hi Becca!
Thank’s so much for stopping by. M should be clickable, but I’m working on N-Z 🙂 Thanks again!
List is brilliant! My child should follow the list at all. This is new thing for learning. Just a quick note to tell you that I have a passion for the topic “ABC’s of Values for Children” at hand. Thanks for this allocation.
