Life with Jay

Jay is a young boy learning day-by-day the important attributes that will make him a happy, healthy adult. Focusing on one trait per chapter, Life with Jay is a character guide that teaches young boys and girls the traits necessary to be good people.

Author Jason Moffitt focuses on the following topics: respect, caring, sportsmanship, responsibility, perseverance, honesty, friends, courage, self-control, citizenship, and bullying. Each chapter includes a definition; scenarios at school, with friends, at home, and in the community; a quiz; and a glossary of useful terms. Additionally, there is a success guide component that allows students to work with their parents on developing a plan of action for success.

For example, in the respect chapter, Jay learns not to disrespect a substitute teacher at school. He respects another student’s belongings by treating them with care. He respects his parents’ rules at home, and in the community, he respectfully offers his seat to an elderly woman. Showcasing examples, Jay’s story will both entertain and educate children in the ways of doing right so they can become kind, successful grown-ups.
