CHIC FIL A SPIRIT DAY-MARCH 4
CHARACTER TRAIT OF THE MONTH:
TRUSTWORTHINESS is being deserving of trust, showing dependability, and proving reliability.
Being trustworthy comes from both actions and words, by choosing to be truthful in all that you say and do.
It is vital to emphasize the importance of trustworthiness to your children. Demonstrate and help them understand that trust is important in all types of relationships and is gained over time.
