What Rich Parents Teach Their Children

Every parent wants to set their child up for a good life. They can do that mostly by what they teach them. Giving them an inheritance of course helps, but the inheritance of mindset, worldview and knowledge and skills are even more important. This is perhaps the most practical teaching on the subject of getting rich that you will ever hear. I do have more, but I will save it for the time when more people want to hear it. If that is you, contact me. Let me know of your interest.

The summer will be over quickly. (Altho, yes, I know it is hard to imagine!) use your time with your children wisely!

Carl Sommer’s Principles of Success

Last week, we talked to Carl Sommer about his books for young children that teach character principles — like the mouse who discovered it was best to pay attention to what his mother said. This time he lost only his tail! And how the bear found his smile.

Mr. Sommer gave us a great discount of 25% this month for typing in the code “great.” This applies even to a subset of his books that have library binding that are already on sale for half price of …. get this… $4.95. We can’t be sure that there will be any of those books left. My librarian and preschool director friends have probably already snapped them up. So go right now.

All of the books are inexpensive for what they are and the 25% discount is great by itself. Be sure to peruse the whole website. You will find some free things. www.advancepublishing.com

In this episode, Mr. Sommer let out that he writes even more than is on www.advancepublishing.com. Advance Publishing specializes in character building books, in a variety of languages, that teach character principles and are acceptable to public schools in the USA. But there is more. He is part of a project that teaches math. He provides the practical lessons, so students understand that math really is needed in the real world. For math resources, all the way up to Trigonometry www.numbersuccess.com. This is suitable for public, private or homeschool educators.

Then, for specifically Christian content, especially success principles for youth, go to www.dovepublishers.com.

Finally, for the the ebook format for the Kindle or iPad, let us help you with direct links. For a fee ebook edition of Education in Crisis go here. And for Teen Success in ebook form, go here. Many of his books are online with various vendors, including his books on Electric Discharge Machining, even a book on sex for young people, and his book

that originally alerted me to his work.

Please let us know which books of his you like most below.
