Life with Jay

Jay is a young boy learning day-by-day the important attributes that will make him a happy, healthy adult. Focusing on one trait per chapter, Life with Jay is a character guide that teaches young boys and girls the traits necessary to be good people. Author Jason Moffitt focuses on the following topics: respect, caring, sportsmanship, responsibility, perseverance, honesty, friends, courage, self-control, citizenship, and bullying. Each chapter includes a definition; scenarios at school, with friends, at home, and in the community; a quiz; and a glossary of useful terms. Additionally, there is a success guide component that allows students to work with their parents on developing a plan of action for success. For example, in the respect chapter, Jay learns not to disrespect a substitute teacher at school. He respects another student s belongings by treating them with care. He respects his parents rules at home, and in the community, he respectfully offers his seat to an elderly woman. Showcasing examples, Jay s story will both entertain and educate children in the ways of doing right so they can become kind, successful grown-ups.
