Event Benefits Institute for Character Enrichment
America's favorite kid joined ICE in Oklahoma City for one memorable evening on August 6, 2004. TV icon Jerry Mathers shared that "We need programs where children can see how other children resolve problems, develop empathy for others, and work toward doing the right things." We found a lot of common ground. Read ICE's August newsletter for details. |

cute and talented, but they want to look their best, and they want their true personalities to show through. Watch Belle's first Wing-Test. | | | |  | | | | Where Do TerraCuddles Live? In one sense, TerraCuddles live in the minds of all who believe in them and who
get to know them. They are spirits of the values they represent, our sense of right, and the elements of our conscience. We don't always see them, but when we consciously think about them, they can be there -- out of eyesight, but close enough to talk with us. In our dreams or our subconscious thoughts, we can even see them in full living color and action. The more we get to know them, the closer they are to us, and the quicker they can help us. | | | | | | The TerraCuddles are composing their own song.
They have added some pictures until they can show their own stories. The lyrics are on the last page.
Listen! |
| | | | |  | | | | | | | In another sense, the TerraCuddles live in Grandpa Clay's workshop. They were born there, created by the Old Potter. Grandpa Clay grew up getting to know them through his father's teachings. His workshop is their home.
They have made their homes in the upper shelves, back rooms, and the nooks and crannies and shadows of the shop -- places where they can hear and see but not be seen when visitors arrive. | | | |

| Are TerraCuddles Religious? TerraCuddles promote a universal understanding of our common moral values -- those values that are common to Christians, Jews, Muslims, and most other major world religions. Truthfulness, generosity, and forgiveness are common values to all religions as well as most secular teachings. Can you connect TerraCuddles to the Holy Bible, Tanakh, Holy Qur'an or other sacred texts to develop religious lessons? Absolutely. See an example and learn more. |

Why do we generate different solutions for the same moral dilemmas? |
| | |
 People respond to moral dilemmas using a decision process learned through each person's unique life experiences. This largely subconscious process is based on two important psychological factors: (a) the
person's stage of moral development, and (b) at the higher stages, the values held. The fundamental theory of moral development today was developed in the 1970s by Dr. Lawrence Kohlberg (shown at right), a psychologist and professor at Harvard University.
The Institute for Character Enrichment is working to
improve society, promote internal change and empower individuals through promoting moral development and a universal understanding of our common moral values.. Download ICE's "An Overview of Moral Development" and learn more. It is a powerful concept!
