This book is for anybody who wants to teach important skills to children, whether you're a grandparent, teacher or parent. I bought Lesson One: The ABC's of Life for my daughter who is raising three children but I decided to read it first. I found the book so pertinent, not just for my daughter and my grandchildren, but for me as well. The book helped me reflect on my life and to see the importance of such themes as unconditional love and passing on skills through sharing life experiences. By the way... my daughter found the book invaluable as well!

Jon Oliver's Lesson One is a must read for not only educators and parents but for anyone looking for a concrete guide to promote human development. As a therapist his ideas of self-control, and personal responsibility are most relevant. What I like most are his suggested activities, which I have already utilized in several of my therapy groups, not only with children but adults. Sharing stories and even using television as an opportunity for important discussions are just a few of the book's practical suggestions. Lesson One is easy to understand and made even more interesting as the author describes his own "Non Lessioned "childhood. (...)

LESSON ONE:THE ABCs OF LIFE is a wonderfully readable, sensitive approach to teaching children of ALL ages how to live in a world so in need of compassion, understanding, cooperation, and mutual respect and love. Until reading this wise book I was unaware that LESSON ONE is a widely used educational adjunct created and fostered by the writer Jon Oliver. With the assistance of Michael Ryan Maestro Oliver reveals his learned life lessons on how to instill in children the ability to not only co-habit universally, but how to find happiness within themselves. Sound simplistic? Well, then you need to read this book. Some ideas we all pay lip service to are reiterated in a concise teaching technique that applies to adults equally strongly as to children. The sections are powerfully titled: The Pledge for Success, dealing with Golden Rule elements, respect for diversity, self-motivation to be the best you can be; Self Control with mega-important periods of Self-Control Time out; Self Confidence building; Responsibility for one's own actions and consequences; Cooperation. Each of these helpful categories is presented with stories from the author's experiences as well as examples that are global. The result is a stimulating book intellectually, a resource for self improvement, and a joyous addition to the lesson plans of teachers, parents, all children and all adults. The possibilities of a world changed by the incorporation of these vital lessons is a dream of joy, not only to the authors, but to all those who take the time to read and practice the teachings in this valuable book.
