As parents… we all need help!
As parents, we sometimes feel a bit frustrated in our efforts to teach our sons and daughters the values and behavior we know are best for them. We can feel we have lost control… and all of this has its reasons and also its remedy. This is the mission of Alive to the World.
Our globalized world has seen a great crisis in family, as well as huge technological changes and a tempo of life which obliges most women to work out of the home. Add to this a pervasive and constant stream of propaganda encouraging promiscuity and individualism. How can we, as parents, help our children to avoid falling into the mistakes of all kinds which are now so common?
Alive to the World is a curriculum designed for the classroom, from Kindergarten to 12th grade, to teach values and virtues. The 13 text books contain an on-going story of Charles and his cousin Alice and their group of friends who come across all the situations and questions that all our young people experience.
Alive to the World attracts and involves the young readers, who identify with the characters and learn through them the practical workings of justice, solidarity, teamwork, etc., and how learning the steps towards integrity provides increasing self-respect and self-confidence, leading to success in the different facets of their lives.
The pedagogy behind this program, the Pedagogy of the Integration of the Person, has been demonstrated by experiences in the most varied socio-economic surroundings that AtW helps students to bring out the positive in themselves and helps them to get over the negative as they learn to have “grit, gratitude and generosity”. It brings the students to understand themselves, each other and their goals in life.
Students love these books because they address all the questions that arise at each age, without judging but with much information and a healthy openness.
