Because Ethics Can’t Be an Afterthought
The foundation for “Ethics-4-Kids” was initiated at a 2022 anti-violence meeting. The focus was on superficial solutions, such as legislation and incarceration, there was no mention of teaching the basics of the difference between Right vs Wrong. When the topic of “values” was introduced it was explained that discussing values was off limits Thus the beginning of “Ethics-4 -Kids.” Don’t blame for what they do not know! The conclusion was that teaching morals and ethics should begin at a very early age, I.E. Kindergarten. In addition parents and teachers should be involved. The Ethics-4-Kids curricula focuses on Traditional Values including. Books, Games, Social Media games and, most importantly, Family and Community interaction.
