Values

Lighting the Candle of Excellence, A Practical Guide for the Family

De: Marva Collins

Narrado por: Marva Collins

"Children don't fail, the adults around them do - and it is up to us to light the candle of excellence within each one we know and love," begins Marva Collins, one of America's foremost educators, in her important work, Values. This practical guide is for those of us who strive to be role models, who want to know the important values, live them, and teach them to our children. In the tradition of recent best sellers by Marion Wright Edelman and Hillary Clinton, Collins provides dozens of games, exercises, poems, and daily proverbs to help encourage in our families values such as kindness, courage, determination, faith, confidence, and responsibility. Taken from her superbly effective teaching and inspirational methods, these techniques are essential if both we and our children are to lead successful and meaningful lives.©1995 by Dove Audio, Inc.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Marva Collins teaches that all can read, learn, compete, and be successful." (Former First Lady, Rosalynn Carter)

Brillant

This deeply touching book is built upon wisdom and experience. A must for any family.

Inspiring for raising children and their values

Positive thinking and leading by examples are the things I took during the listening. Meanwhile, the book is concise and short, and read by the author, the way which enhances my attachment to the author and her ideas.
I came to listen to this book as Harvard Professor Tal highly recommended the author. It deserves the recommendation.
Thank you both, Marva and Tal.

Listening again!

I wish I had known about this book at the beginning of my homeschool journey. This is a wonderful lesson for parents and teachers.

Great Resource!

Very informative! The resources where very useful as well!!! I have reread it 3 times now!

Great resource for parents<br />

Great resource for getting my daughter on the long narrow road to excellence. I loved the easy practical examples and ideas to work on with your children.

Marva Collins Inspires!

Manners, self talk, acceptance, (of our successes and failures) and the courage to seek the individuated path will lead a life of continuous learning and self-confidence! This is a must read and re-read. Again, again, and again!

Most valuable audiobook for any parent

This is an absolute must read for any parent. Marva's style is awe inspiring. Wish I could have heard this audio before my first child went to 1st grade.

I feel blessed and full of gratitude to know that we have someone of such great calibre to take us and our children to the next level of our excellence.

Marva Collins a True Role Model

I found out about Marva Collins because Tony Robbins mentions her in his book. I can see now why she is a great role model. Really happy i discovered her!

Great Values

Even after her death, Marva Collins is such a light in our community. I continue to learn from her as a woman, educator and parent. Her wealth of knowledge and wisdom has made such an impact on my life. I think every school and parent should read this book.
