Like so many, I feel saddened (and horrified) at some of the events happening in our world. And I worry about the children growing up in this world. Are they being given the moral compass they need to be good, kind, loving people?

Equality and Peace Resources for Parents and TeachersCharacter education could be called one of my causes. I think it’s always been essential … and is today more than ever. Children need role models of high moral character around them, and they need to hear the importance of being people of good character over and over and over again.

With children, I like to read character education books, sing positive songs, do volunteer work, do character education activities, talk about character, and encourage them to practice good character whenever possible.

Equality and peace aren’t simply about equality and peace. They’re also about respect, fairness, kindness, compassion, anti-bullying, and friendship. They’re about treating others as we would like to be treated (the age-old golden rule).

Equality and Peace Resources for Parents and Teachers

I’ve spent a number of years gathering together character education resources. As homeschoolers, our unit studies were based on character traits. I’ve continued that emphasis with my granddaughter and plan to continue it with my grandchildren who aren’t born yet.

Following are some of the character education resources I’ve gathered that I love for helping children practice equality and peace.
