I used this program with my son, and I found that while helping my son set goals in the "Achieve" section, I too was inspired to set some goals. The program was great since it breaks the hustle and bustle of every day life into smaller more manageable pieces for my son.

Although all of the pieces of this program were extremely beneficial, my 9 year old son and I agree that we love the Cornerstone Activity from the "Believe" section best. My son put a lot of thought into prioritizing what is important to him, and I was pleased to learn some new things about him while doing the activity. This is a powerful bonding and learning experience for parents and their children.

I am an Elementary School teacher and this program is great because it ties in with the intelligent behaviors and character traits we are trying to teach our students. This is the only program I've seen that helps the parents reinforce their understanding and development of character so that their children can excel in school and life.

I was surprised to learn so much about my son's character that I hadn't already known about him. In addition to knowing my son better, I myself prioritized my values in the Cornerstone Activity and my son had a chance to know me better too, so I was able to be an example to him in what I believe. In addition, we use the Decision-Making board on a regular basis (it's on our refrigerator). Great product- thanks!

I have a wonderful 11 year old daughter (just around the corner from becoming a teenager). I went to Barnes & Noble with the intention of finding a book that would help me prepare for the teen years and I found more than 100 books titled something like, "My kid is a teen, what do I do now?" However, I didn't find anything that helped me prepare myself or my daughter for becoming a teenager (and an adult) as well as this program does. She is more prepared to fight off peer pressure and make good decisions now than ever before. You can't put a price on that!!! I wish I had this program when my other 2 kids were younger!

My two sons are grown but I mentor troubled youth. One of my thoughts when I went through Part 3, "Live Life with Vision" was that I learned these decision making techniques in officer training school. I didn't think the kids I work with could grasp the concepts. Then, I realized that these kids understand more than I ever gave them credit for! The building blocks and the journal are great... but the decision making board is going to change a lot of lives.

Before I purchased the series I read a lot of comments about the Cornerstone Activity and the decision making board. Now that I've gone through the series, I wanted to commend the journal. My son loves the journal! He reminds me now about his to-do list and the whole family makes a big deal about it when he accomplishes a goal. When he is older, I think he will love reading his journal and remembering his early success stories.

Life's lessons come and go so fast; I'm glad we had the Cornerstone Activity to help me address TRUTH and the importance of telling the TRUTH at all times (big or small).

FYI: my daughter wanted to add two character trait words to the blocks that were not already there so we turned the blocks around and used a black permanent marker to add them to the list. So even though the program provided us with 37 character trait words and seven Things of Value, by writing on the back of each block, people could end up with as many as 74 character trait words to choose from and 14 Things of Value (just an idea).

The program is designed for parents to use as a tool with their children. However, in addition to using the tools with my children, my wife and I use it too. After prioritizing the Things of Value myself and then watching my wife prioritize the same blocks, we had no idea how different our thought processes were. It generated wonderful conversation between the two of us; it helped us get on the same page so we can be consistent in the way we present our family values to our children. Knowing my wife's priorities helped me understand why she makes some of the decisions she makes. Situations that use to be a potential argument... now turn into discussions on what is best for our family.

I used Believe, Achieve, Live Life with Vision with my mentally disabled son with great success. I was amazed to learn what he considers to be priorities in his life. This experience was both eye-opening and humbling.
