Pulitzer Prize-winning author and child psychiatrist Dr. Robert Coles created this PBS program to help caregivers learn how to present and teach the type of strong moral values that children need to develop if they are to successfully survive life's many challenges. He looks at such values as the sincere concern for others that parents need to both talk about and demonstrate in their own lives. Coles also talks to parents about actively listening to their children on a daily basis, always trying to keep the lines of communication open so they can offer help whenever it's needed. He encourages parents, teachers, and other caregivers to help children learn to love and respect themselves so they'll be able to treat others with equal dignity. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi
