Character Education Through Stories, Music, And Imagery

Character Education Through Stores Music and Imagery encourages children to recognize and grow their own character traits. This book includes 20 stories, relaxation exercises, and short pieces of classical music. Included is a guide for teachers, parents, counselors, therapists, and program directors, with clear directions on how to use the Stories, Music, and Imagery process with children. The children listen to an original story, learn a relaxation technique to quiet their body and mind, focus their attention during reflective time to a short piece of beautiful classical music, then write, draw, or verbally share their experience. This process gives children a chance to express what the story means to them and how that character trait is present in their life. Ten stories for younger children explore character traits of beauty, clearing, cooperation, confidence, friendship, growth, honesty, patience, support, and trust. Ten stories for older children explore the character traits of acknowledgement, appreciation, choice, communication, expression, focus, gratitude, persistence, possibilities, and respect. The Stories, Music, and Imagery process brings together the power of the story, benefits of relaxation, clarity of focused attention, beauty of music, wisdom of the child, and support from the adult.
