Principal's Message
Each month this year we are focusing on a different character trait. This month we are focusing on Honesty.
Here is a short article from Character First Education that highlights a few elements of Honesty that you can discuss with your children.
Honesty is “being truthful in what I say and do.” Honesty is more than just accurately reporting facts. It includes what you say, and it also includes what you don't say! For example, if your mom asks, "Did you eat the cookies?" you could accurately say "no" if you just ate one cookie. But that would be deceitful.
Honesty also includes your actions. For example, to cheat on a test is to pretend you know the answers when you really don't. Or to steal candy from a store is to act like you paid for it when you really didn't. Honesty means saying and doing what is true, not false.
Commit to being Honest. I will...
Tell the truth.
Play by the rules.
Do not exaggerate the facts.
Admit when I am wrong.
Do not take things that don't belong to me.
Here are some discussion starters you could use at home:
How do you feel when someone lies to you?
How can telling one lie lead to more lies? How can this cause problems?
If someone lies or makes a mistake, what does that person need to do in order to make it right?
When is it tempting to cheat or lie about something?
Thank you for continuing to talk with your children about being honest and cheering for them when they are able to share when they made a mistake. This skill will come in handy as they get older!
Kind Regards,
Christy
