Yes, your kids can count, but can they muster courage? They can read, but can they persist? They can write, but can they tell the truth—the whole truth? They know a lot, but are they wise? These are important questions to answer because in the world of raising children for greatness, character is king. Character will rule over your children for the rest of their lives.
But great character will not form in your child’s heart on its own. And unlike academics, character cannot be properly developed by reading textbooks or listening to lectures in a classroom. It won’t happen in an afternoon. It is not a class followed by a final exam. Character is a way of life. The lessons begin when your children wake and end when they fall asleep, from the time they are young, until they are old.
And training character requires much wisdom. But there is little wisdom practiced today. Contemporary “experts” have replaced truth with progressive theory, ignoring all the great Christian virtues except kindness and tolerance, and yet, modern children can hardly be described even as such. In this age of school shootings and mass bullying, the modern world has proved it is no better at training children’s character than it is at educating them.
The Art of Raising Children for Greatness: Character has the wisdom parents so desperately need. It is the wisdom of the great tutors and families of old and the elite prep schools of today, whose children have gone on to shape and rule the world. Read this book—your children’s character depends on it.
