About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child begins asking difficult questions about where their food comes from, expresses concern about animal welfare, or feels a sudden urge to go vegetarian. It acts as a comprehensive roadmap for young people who are ready to align their daily habits with their budding moral compass. Beyond simple advice, the book explores the deeper concepts of empathy, environmental stewardship, and personal integrity. Linda Newbery provides a balanced framework for teenagers to navigate complex choices in fashion, food, and entertainment. It is particularly helpful for families navigating the friction that can arise when a child's ethical choices differ from the rest of the household, offering scripts for social situations and peer pressure. This is a guide for raising a socially conscious, responsible citizen who understands the power of their own spending and lifestyle choices.
