People usually think it is hard to teach character education. Dr. Lickona is so good at making it easy and concrete. From 2013 to 2017, I had the honor to invite him to Taiwan to give workshops for parents and educators. Hundreds of participants, like me, were so touched and inspired by his passion, sincerity, and humbleness. Parents said things like, 'He helped me to open up my heart to listen to my children' and 'I learned how to solve problems with my children in a fair and open way.' If character education is a way of living, he truly sets a wonderful example.”
