Do you love America? Are you proud to call this country your
home? Now, what about your kids? You want them to love
America as much
as you do, but when popular culture tells them it’s cooler
to bash this
country than to love it, how can you teach them to be proud
and loyal
citizens?
As mothers themselves, bestselling author
Myrna
Blyth and former presidential speechwriter Chriss Winston have
struggled with the same dilemma. Shocked by the growing
patriotism gap,
they set out to create a real-world resource all parents can
use to
teach their kids about the greatness of America’s past, the
promise of
its future, and the important role each of us plays in this
democracy.
How to Raise an American shows you how to make patriotism a
priority
without it becoming a chore for you or your kids.
This
practical guide offers tips, games, activities, quizzes, and
information you can use to make patriotism part of your
family’s daily
life, including:
- 60-Minute Solutions that easily
and seamlessly instill a love of this country - Dinner
Table Debate topics that will have the whole family
talking - Road trip ideas that bring America’s history to
life - Books and movies that exemplify our shared
ideals - Inspiring stories of American courage, honor,
and ingenuity - Fun and educational ways to celebrate
American holidays like the Fourth of July and Veterans
Day
Blyth
and Winston consulted prominent historians, academics, military
leaders, politicians, authors, scholars, film critics and
parents
around the country to bring you a truly useful guide. Part
treatise on
patriotism, part American history primer, part civics
lesson, this book
is the antidote to the virulent America bashing our children
hear every
day.
Inspiring and practical, How to Raise an
American is a must for every patriot—parent and child.
