How to Build Children with Integrity

by Karen Budzinski

Raising the next generation of children is more distracting than ever. We want to raise children with purpose, who excel not only in their pursuits but in the character that makes them victorious when life throws them challenges. How do you give your children the best opportunities without feeding the narcissism prevalent in our selfie society? By giving them integrity.

Building children requires the wholeness that comes from knowing who you are, what you stand for and what you live for. Integrity is consistent; it can be counted on. Building children with integrity helps them to own the ethics and character that will stand against the flood of social opposition to strong values.

How to Build Children with Integrity is a toolbox of resources and ideas for parents and those who are involved with children. This book is meant to be used as a springboard to inspire people to think of how they can take normal everyday life and build something lasting in children along the way. As we dedicate ourselves to these tasks, results will follow.

About the author

Karen Budzinski began challenging women to apply themselves to strengthen their relationships in 1981, just a month after she and her husband, Gary, were married. She did not realize at that time that the rest of her life work would be dedicated to helping others build better relationships. Her book, How to Build an Enduring Marriage contains a wealth of information that has benefited an inestimable number of women over the past 33 years.

Karen has headed up Women’s groups in her home and in several churches, taught adult, youth, and children’s classes, led marriage
groups for couples, and counseled troubled marriages. She has held marriage seminars and study groups both in the US and internationally. She has taught leaders in Peru, Dominican Republic, and Haiti, and speaks every year to various MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) groups. Karen still teaches the on-going class on building better relationships in her home.

Karen and her husband, Gary, live in Michigan. Their family has grown to include five adult children, their spouses, and nine
granddaughters and three grandsons.
