[LM_NET] HIT: Books about Self-Discipline

[Lidia Horyn <lhoryn@OPTONLINE.NET>]

BlankThanks to everyone who responded to my request for books on the topic of 
"self-discipline" for my K-5 school's character education program.

I found the Children's Picture Book Database suggested by Jody Newman to be very 
helpful, as well as Sharron McElmeel's excellent book, Character Education: A Book 
Guide for Teachers, Librarians, and Parents.



Below are the 2 responses I received followed by the list of books I compiled.

I have purchased some sets of books that I think are valuable.  They are mainly for 
elementary students.  Our social worker uses them quite often.  The series are 
called, The Conflict Resolution Library and some of the titles are Dealing with 
Anger, Dealing with Bullying, Dealing with Fighting, Dealing with Insults, and 
Dealing with Weapons, Dealing with Arguments, Dealing with Lying, Dealing with 
Someone Who Won't Listen, Dealing with Stealing, and Dealing with Teasing.  These 
titles are available fro PowerKids Press.  
 
Another series is Life skills:  Building Self-Confidence, Improving Work Habits, 
Living on Your Own, Setting Career Goals.  They are available from Capstone 
High/Low Books at Capstone Press.
 
Another series is The violence prevention library.  This is also from PowerKids 
Press. Available from Rosen Publishing Group.
 
The last series is The Let's Talk Library.  Also available from Rosen Press.
