Building confidence in children is one of the most important steps educators and parents can take to ensure an atmosphere for learning. When kids achieve something, whether it's riding a bike, learning to do a math problem, or mastering a new martial art form, they get a sense of being more able and capable. As they achieve and learn more skills, they can more easily tap into that high-octane fuel called confidence.

Discipline may be the most essential key to excellence that a child can learn. Children that are disciplined will grow up learning critical life skills like self-control, respect, persistence, resilience, and patience. They learn to respect their parents, teachers, authority figures, and themselves. And they develop social skills-empathy, patience, compassion, and knowing how to share-which are essential for making friends and sustaining healthy relationships.Not only is discipline good for children, but it is necessary for their happiness and well-being. It is as vital for healthy child development as nutritious food, physical exercise, mental activity, and nurturing love. With discipline, children develop the right tools necessary to navigate personal and work-related relationships. They build knowledge of what is right and wrong, self-discipline, respect for others, self-confidence, personal integrity, and the ability to work and cooperate with their peers.

World War II has finally ended, but not for Jonathan Preston-the US Army's most successful covert operative-a new mission is just beginning. The US Navy and Preston and his team of intelligence agents race against time to stop two rogue Japanese submarines from attacking the east coast of the US with biological weapons capable of inflicting unimaginable casualties.While the US Navy frantically attempts to find and destroy the submarines, Jonathan Preston and his team of counterintelligence agents rush to track down Japanese agents positioned to take possession of the biological agent when the subs arrive off the US east coast. Preston's WWII nemesis, Japanese intelligence agent Asami Nakada, however, has other plans as she evades US operatives and moves to attack Washington DC, and Philadelphia from the land, while the sub's bombers attack New York City.
