Citizenship-The Camping Trip Kid Definition-"A good citizen follows the rules." Being a part of a group means following the rules. Children should be taught that rule-following isn't always easy, and may not always be what we most want to do, but that it is still a very important part of belonging to a group-in other words, being a good citizen. Creating Character in the Growing Years is a company formed for the express purpose of providing character education tools for teachers, parents, and all educators to help create good character in young children - positive traits and values that are sadly lacking in our culture today. The writers have developed an effective early childhood character education curriculum called the Peddlesfoots designed for preschool, kindergarten, and first grades, although older children are also enjoying the Peddlesfoots stories and curriculum as well. The curriculum is research-based, standards driven and proven to enhance literacy and positive behavior in young children. The stories are centered around a family of rabbits called the Peddlesfoots who through their varied antics and adventures, learn to make wise moral choices in the face of many pressures-relatable choices that our children are having to face each day.
