  26. Why don't we teach children character?  Character wouldn't become
  27. a curriculum of it's own.  Character is something we should have
  28. from day to day to day ...
  29.  
  30. Character which should be taught to children and carry over into
  31. adulthood such as:  attentiveness, thankfulness, responsiblity,
  32. contentment (realizing things obtained beyond what we have are
  33. an added benifit and responsibility), etc.
  34.  
  35. Teaching children character will enhance their values and build
  36. higher personal convictions based upon their values.  Also, they
  37. are a tremendous benifit to children when they become adults.
