CHARACTER COUNTS! In Iowa Families Use of the Six Pillars of Character at home provides an environment of high expectations on the behavior and attitude of youth, while providing a caring and nurturing relationship with the most important influence on a child’s character, their family. The use of the Pillars helps the child see the relationship between home and school expectations as it relates to parental rules, home responsibilities (i.e. chores) and the interactions between adults and children in the home. It also provides a basis for enlightening discussions in those moments when a child’s decision (whether good or questionable) can be a great “teachable moment”. Parenting Tips for Teaching Character Use the T.E.A.M. Method: Teach:  Parents play a major role in teaching children the importance of character              Enforce :  Reward good behavior with praise and discourage inappropriate behavior              with fair consequences to show you are serious about character.  Most of all, be              consistent.              Advocate :  Be assertive about the importance of being a person of character.  Make it              clear that you expect your children to be trustworthy, respectful, responsible, fair,              caring and good citizens.

Questions Should Schools be Teaching Values? Schools are tasked with creating knowledgeable individuals of good character. Intentionally or unintentionally, all schools teach values. Any school that condones cheating, racism or sexism, whose teachers are unfair, and which is not a caring institution will have an adverse effect on its children that parents must struggle to overcome. On the other hand, schools can foster and encourage students to become ethical peoplepeople of good character. The classroom is a professional environment for learning, and character must be explicitly taught therein.

Volunteer The Importance of Character Development An Interview with Ron Kinnamon In an exclusive interview with Camping Magazine, Kinnamon shares his unique perspective on character development and his commitment to "spread the movement through youth organizations, sports, and schools to reach every kid in America." Why do you believe that character building - developing good character - is essential to youth development? Children and youth today don't live in a "kid friendly" world. They face serious problems as never before - problems such as substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and youth violence. These are all ethical issues. The long-term solution to solving these problems is to develop a societal norm based on a limited number of core values. This is not new to camp professionals. Camp people have known the importance of developing character for well over a hundred years. We have been developing character by teaching a set of core values. Now we need to help the rest of the world to understand that adults need to teach and demonstrate these values to children and youth. Our society has a problem in providing positive youth development for all kids. In many ways, we adults give the wrong message to youth. Many adults are afraid of teens and because of this, they stop communicating with them. How many adults know the names of the children and youth in their neighborhood? How much conversation goes on between adults and teens when it is not organized? How much eye contact is there with teens who dress differently or who are pierced?

Building Character in Your School-age Children Ede Valiquette, Extension Educator 4-H Youth Development University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT R aising children to become decent and responsible adults is a complex and challenging job- one that is becoming increasingly difficult in our society. To be a person of good character, youth must develop strengths. They must know what is good; they must desire to do the good; they must be willing to do good, and they must develop a lifestyle that supports the desire and willingness to do good. As a school-age child care provider, you play a critical role in a child's development of good character. Qualities that define good character have been debated by various groups, but in 1992, the Josephson Institute of Ethics , with the help of scholars, parents, youth workers and others, published the Aspen Declaration . This Declaration has become the corner-stone for the character development education programs in the United States. The Aspen Declaration states: The next generation will be the stewards of the world.

Research suggests a correlation between the teaching of character education of youth and its positive ethical results throughout the United States. While these findings demonstrate positive changes experienced by youth audiences, no research to date has been conducted on the effects that teaching Character Counts! has on those teaching the program. The research project reported here examined Character Counts! Program's impact on Cooperative Extension and on the personal and societal lives of Extension educators and assistants. In a recent survey of 20,829 high school and middle school students conducted by the Josephson Institute of Ethics (1997) found the following.
