Talking with kids about trust

How Could You? Kids Talk About Trust by Nancy Loewen has the premise of a 13 year old advice columnist who gives advice to other students. Younger students write him letters and he writes them back. This book is best for students in second through fifth grade. Parents will find this book more useful than elementary classroom teachers. The younger students' letters range in topic(a few include): being treated like a "baby" by parents, when adults repeatly break promises, having a step-parent, cheating at school, what to do when a friend tells your secret, and making up stories to look cool in front of friends. The "letters" are show along with colorful, full page cartoon drawings. Parents can read the book from cover to cover, while teachers may find it more appropriate to pick and choose which "letters" to share with their students.
