An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals by David Hume DISPUTES with men, pertinaciously obstinate in their principles, are, of all others, the most irksome; except, perhaps, those with persons, entirely disingenuous, who really do not believe the opinions they defend, but engage in the controversy
Gentle Measures in the Management and Training of the Young by Jacob Abbott This moral was not, as some readers might perhaps anticipate, and as, indeed, many persons of less tact might have made it, that Egbert ought himself, as a boy, to obey those in authority over him. Instead of this he closed by saying
Religious Education in the Family by Henry F. Cope Moral crises arise in every family. Deeply as we may desire to maintain an even tenor of character-development, in harmony and quietness, occasions will bring either our own imperfections or those of our children - or of our neighbors' children
Parent and Child, Volume III by Mosiah Hall 'Somehow I'll escape,' is the fatal thought which blinds the poor fool who, for the first time, treads the path of self-indulgence or wrong-doing. But he ought to know that escape is impossible. No cave is dark enough, no ocean deep enough to hide
Treatise on Parents and Children
by George Bernard Shaw And now the voices of our Moral Instruction Leagues will be lifted, asking whether there is any reason why the appetite for perfection should not be cultivated in rationally scientific terms instead of being associated with the story of Jonah
Courage Perseverance
Children's Book of Virtues by William J. Bennett Here is the true story of a brave heart, one willing to hold on as long as it takes to get the job done. Holland is a country where much of the land lies below sea level.
Introduction
Character Matters : How to Help Our Children Develop Good Judgment, Integrity, and Other Essential Virtues by Thomas E. Lickona, Ph.D. Portraits of character touch something deep in the human heart.

Self-Discipline
The Book of Virtues by William J. Bennett In self-discipline one makes a 'disciple' of oneself. One is one's own teacher, trainer, coach, and 'disciplinarian.' It is an odd sort of relationship, paradoxical in its own way, and many of us don't handle it very well.

| Advice & Discussions | My family is completely against me I just posted but now I can post again... I feel like I'm abusing this by asking advice so soon but this is different too.
I don't know what to do anymore. Any time one of my bratty siblings (both younger) yells, I get the blame for it. I had one of my siblings take a receipt to where they work to adjust something because I forgot my card. | Has Christmas changed or is it just my messed up family?? Ok, in the past few years I haven't been home for Christmas with my family. This year I come home, and things are sooo different. No one cares anymore. My own sister and brother didn't even acknowledge the fact that I came home, or even said Hello to me. | Don't Understand My Mother I got back late last night from my family thing in Las Vegas. Had a somewhat good time. I was very happy to see my uncle from Australia, and his family. I havent seen them in 25 years. My uncle was VERY happy to see me. He was the one who kept bugging my mom if I was coming out to Las Vegas. | Overpossesive, ill mother Good afternoon all... This problem of being so restricted in my going out has been gnawing away at me for some months, and has come to a head over Christmas. When I was thirteen my mother collapsed in a gym and was in hospital for several weeks, suffering slight brain damage. |
