Build the active parents of tomorrow with character education programs from Active Parenting

Renowned for 25 years of parenting education, Active Parenting Publishers has extended its influence into the field of character education. The same effective relationship principles of mutual respect, open communication, and nonviolence that are the core of our programs for parents are evident in our character program kits for children.

One of our most popular programs is the ultra-flexible Families in Action for Teens and Parents. This 3-in-1 kit gives you the tools to teach healthy relationship skills to two audiences that need it the most: parents and teenagers-or both groups together! Families in Action is proven effective by research, is listed on the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's (OJJDP) Model Programs Guide, and is on the SAMHSA list of programs accepted for NREPP review.

For the younger crowd, our newly-revamped Free the Horses: A Character Education Adventure will provide hours of values-building entertainment. This delightful video-based program is used in K-5 classrooms, after-school programs, and camps. Use the optional Biblical guide to turn it into an easy-to-lead church program.

We are also proud to distribute videos from the Connecting With Kids series. These short (30 minutes) videos have all the flash of a TV show while imparting wisdom on key topics ranging from bullying to racism, from generosity to stress management. Use the companion videos for adults to make effective programs for parents and children alike.

That's not all! We also distribute dozens of videos and books for children of all ages—and their parents, too. Skim through the following pages to find even more character education programs for parents, children and teens.
