Stories to Encourage Positive Behavior in Small Children

The preschool and kindergarten years are some of the most important formative years of a person's life. Habits and attitudes developed during these crucial years affect a child for the rest of his or her life. These years are also a challenging time for parents as their children test boundaries (and patience). How parents and children respond makes all the difference in the world.

The Growing God's Kids series is designed to help young children understand their feelings, develop godly ways to deal with temptations, and form positive attitudes and behaviors that will serve them well in the future. In
Telling the Truth, parents and children are encouraged to address lying and discover the value of telling the truth.

Discover the value of telling the truth

Sometimes Max says things that he knows aren't true. He lies to his mom, his teacher, and other kids. He lies because he thinks it will make things easier on him. But lying is wrong, and it never quite turns out the way Max expects . . .

Come and learn a better way to handle the truth--God's way!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect little book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 29, 2022
    My 6 year old has sensory problems and can't handle his emotions so I have ordered 3 of these books to sit and read with him. They are great little stories and hopefully they will help with his angry and lying
    They will hopefully help him learn that even if you do something wrong just admit and tell the truth and that it's OK to get angry we all do it when something happens but it's how we deal with being angry is what is important and not hurting others

    Reviewed in Canada on July 11, 2019
    Loved these books...was a little worried they would be really religious, however, they had maybe one quote from the bible and a small God reference at he back of the book...my son enjoyed them and really got the point across by different examples and situations
