Each session includes activities, discussion prompts, and a handout to bring home to parents and other family adults.

For schools, districts, and states that have implemented standards-based education, a detailed chart shows how each session correlates with specific standards in the areas of character education, health, social studies, social and emotional learning, and language arts.

The included CD-ROM features all of the reproducible forms from the book and an additional 40 pages of student handouts used in the sessions.
