Introduction

All parents want their children to learn good values. But what do we mean by values? And how are they learnt? These are just a couple of the question that Ellen Perry takes on in her chapter and this podcast interview with Keith Whitaker. Ellen also discusses what families can do when there are real disagreements over values or the choices that those values lead to, as well as specific activities that parents and grandparents can use to prompt productive conversations among their family members about the values they hold dear.
