Raising Good Kids

I've been reading a book for work called "Building Moral Intelligence".  This book guides the reader to teach children the seven virtues necessary to raise well rounded kids.  It is targeted to children from 3-15 years old but according to the author raising empathic children starts from toddler age.  What I like about this book is that it gives the reader practical ideas that one can easily implement.  One idea suggested was to teach emotional vocabulary to children by writing a word (happy)/ and correlating picture (smiley person).

Raising good kids seems like such a monumental task, but I know that parents are kids first teachers and if we don't do it, my babies will miss out on this learning experience.
