The Old Neighborhood introduces a group of 8- to 12-year-old boys growing up in the 1950’s. Their leader is Oliver, better known as “The Big O,” who is large not only in size, but in loudness of mouth. The boys are Eddie, Jimmy, Skinny, Phil, Harold, and Ernie. Another boy, technically not a member, is the mysterious John Allen. Although young in years, his wisdom is recognized by the children and their parents. Rumors of his mystic powers circulate through the neighborhoods as he “must be about my father’s business.” Through the six stories, the reader learns lessons in sharing (“The Street Fair”); helping one’s neighbor (“The Court”); dealing with dangerous challenges (“Running the Bridges”); getting along with the elderly (“The Letter”); overcoming one’s inner fears (“Ernie’s Streetcar Adventure”); and learning not to disobey a parent’s instructions (“The Big O: Discus Thrower”).

You have to teach your children how to respect themselves, other people, and everything else around them. They should know how to respect the elderly, the people in authority, their peers, and even strangers. This includes knowing how to control themselves and not say or do anything that might hurt others.In addition, they should have respect for every creature. You have to teach your child not to hurt or torture animals. You also have to teach them to respect Mother Earth by not littering or destroying plants. If you teach your children about respect as early as now, they will grow up to be respectful people who care about the wellbeing of others, not just themselves.2. ObedienceObedience does not occur naturally in many people. In fact, a lot of people like to disobey rules because it makes them feel powerful. They feel that they are in control. If you want your children to be obedient, you need to train them early on. Educate them about the pros and cons of being obedient. Tell them about the possible consequences of disobeying the rules and reward them for good behavior.For example, you can tell your children that if they disobey their parents or teachers, they can be in trouble. They can get punished and humiliated in front of their peers. They are also no longer likely to be trusted again by their elders because of their disobedience. Moreover, when they grow up and they do not obey the laws, they can get incarcerated. Then again, you should not forget to teach your children how to differentiate reasonable obedience and gullibility.They should know when to say ‘no’. For instance, if someone tells them to perform an unlawful act, such as stealing or destroying public property, they should know how to disobey. If an older person asks them to lie for them, they should know how to say ‘no’. Being obedient involves knowing the difference between right and wrong. Before they agree to do something, they should know first whether it is right or wrong to do so.Download your copy today!Take action today and download this book for a limited time discount!Tags: business for kids; business for children; business for young adults; business for kids 101; business kids beginners; business kids dummies; business for kids tips; business for kids advice; business ideas for kids; entrepreneurship for children; child entrepreneur; kids business help; kids small business; kids mindset; kids motivation; small business ideas for kids; how to teach entrepreneurship to your kids; making money for kids; making money for teens; side jobs for kids; side hustles for children; side gigs for young people; young people business; young people
