"A thoughtful, sensitive book on one of the most burning issues of our times." Publisher's noteAmerica's leading thinker on the moral education of children argues persuasively that young people today are seriously demoralized at a time in their lives when they should be full of high expectations and noble spirits. Damon draws on his research and experience to establish guidelines on the moral development of children in the home, school and community. William Damon argues that young people today are seriously demoralized at a time in their lives when they should be full of high expectations and noble spirits. This demoralization, Damon contends, is caused by the low expectations and the self-centered ethic our society communicates to its young people through the cult of self-esteem, "child-centered" learning, and other similar practices. In response, Damon draws on his years of research and experience in schools to establish practical guidelines on the moral development of children in the home, the school, and the community.
