There is pressure on children today not to be good. The media and friends can encourage them to do things that are not the best for the individual. Children need to be reminded that lying is wrong, that there are benefits to hard work and doing homework, that sharing instead of keeping everything to yourself is worthwhile. Writing in the parlance of children - "bad" means "good", this book encourages children to do their best. It looks at different areas of behaviour such as bullying, forgiveness, racism, materialism and self-esteem, and introduces questionnaires to help reinforce what the children have read.
