Compass: A Handbook on Parent Leadership

In Compass: A Handbook on Parent Leadership, James B. Stenson has created the definitive plan for raising children right. Stenson has spent three decades interviewing hundreds of families in order to determine how parents can raise their children into “competent, responsible, considerate, and generous men and women who are committed to live by principles of integrity.” Compass is a true roadmap for the great adventure that is family life. This work is intended for a husband and wife to read together, learning key skills such as: Forming children’s characters to help them make sound judgments in the short- and long-terms Instilling virtue in children while preserving “the great loves” of childhood Cultivating a “sporting adventure family,” rather than a consumerist family that enshrines materialism and the media Encouraging a culture of discipline in the home, and why “discipline” does not mean “damage control” or “punishment” Adopting the qualities of effective parent leaders
