Respect and Take Care of Things

by Cheri J. Meiners

Book Overview

Everything has a place. Things last longer when we take care of them. Respect, responsibility, and stewardship are concepts that even young children can relate to--because they have things they value.

Respect and Take of things

Excellent book with simple explanations for important areas of development. Recommend all these books in this series.

Great Social/Behavior Book; wish they were cheaper

I have a couple of these books for my 7 y.o. son who has Aspergers Syndrome (on the autism spectrum). The books are great for bringing up discussions about different situations and appropriate behavior. They are also great for his younger brother (5) and sister (3). They give several examples of the specific lesson being taught, and in a reflective way for children. The ending always has a thought-provoking question, giving the child the chance to think of ways they can take care of their things, etc... After reading the book the kids always get excited trying to show me they can do what the book says. So it works for everyone. I only wish they were cheaper, I'd love to get more of them.

Great book for teaching!

This is an incredible book for teaching children how to respect their things...I just wish it had worked...LOL!
