Parents

Parents
  • Do you ever feel overwhelmed with all that you want to teach your children?
  • Do you ever feel like there just isn't enough time in the day to do all that you want to do with your children as you help them to become better human beings?
What If Teaching Could Be Easy...
  • What if: you could teach your children skills like: kindness, sharing, table manners, responsibility, compassion, and much more, while helping your children to live with confidence and honor without correcting them?

FAQS

FUNdamentals4Kids is a monthly subscription. Each month, children receive a box that has various hands on activities and access to online activities that teach manners, character development and life skills.

FUNdamentals4Kids is determined to equip children with the necessary tools they need to be successful both personally and professionally. Through hands-on activities and online activities, we strive to be a trusted partner by parents in helping them to teach their children fundamental skills that instill strong moral values, impeccable integrity, sincere manners and an overall commitment to excellence.

FUNdamentals4Kids is ideal for children ages 4-9 years of age, but often, it really depends on maturity. We have children 3 years olds and 12 year olds who not only enjoy it, but learn so much that they didn’t know before.

FUNdamentals4Kids is meant to be a family affair. Parents, what we know is that our children learn so much through discussion (not lecture, but discussion). Many of our hands-on-products are designed to create kind discussion between parent and child like our flashcards, board game and story-time. What we can tell you is this…if you want your child to learn the most from this program, it requires parental involvement. It’s up to you how much time you spend on the activities, but there is enough activities with this program, that you will have 10-20 minutes of material 5 days a week for each of the four weeks of the month if you want that.

Yes! If you are currently paying monthly, you can switch to a 6 month or 12 month subscription at any time to save, as long as you have at least 6 months of boxes left to enjoy. Simply login into “Manage My Account” and click on “Change my Plan”.

Bringing My Family Together

This program is bringing my family together in more ways than one. Until we started doing this program, I didn’t realize that we weren’t spending enough quality family time together. Now, we have such a fun time, discussing the stories or flash cards, playing the board game, taking the challenges and singing the songs. Truly, my family is becoming more unified. I can’t believe the change in my home!

How do we define manners?
Manners (or etiquette) is helping those around us to feel valued and comfortable.
Why do manners matter to us and why should they matter to you?
Manners matter because our happiness and success in life is heavily influenced by the health of our relationships both personally and professionally. If our children do not have the skills to develop healthy, compassionate, selfless, kind relationships that are built on integrity and mutual respect, then our children will struggle to find true peace and happiness.
