Teach Your Children Well
Teach Your Children Well
By The Ivy Bookshop
We teach our children many lessons about manners, sharing, kindness, cleaning up after themselves and how to good people. In Yiddish, the word “mensch” encapsulates all these things and more. A mensch is a person of integrity and honor. With so much noise in the world nowadays, there are additional ideas we need to talk with our kids about as we help them grow to be citizens of the world. Social media and the proliferation of the 24-hour news cycle, with its talk of fake news, book bannings, the refugee crisis, LGBTQ+ rights, the Me Too Movement and Black Lives Matter, are difficult subjects that may present challenges to parents. These age-appropriate books seek to help parents raise a mensch while navigating this new frontier with clear language and truth at the core. Rona London, Children's Literature Specialist
