"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - December 9, 2019
The Positivity Project - Humility!
This week our students will learn about Humility. The definition of Humility is formed around humble people having an accurate (not underestimated) sense of their abilities and achievements. They hold the capacity to acknowledge their mistakes and limitations, and are open to advice and new ideas. They do not show off their possessions or accomplishments.
The parent virtue for Humility is Temperance. Strengths of temperance protect us from excess. Strengths comprised in this virtue are forgiveness, humility/modesty, prudence, and self-control.
Please use these quotes and videos to host a discussion with your children.
"True humility is staying teachable, regardless of how much you already know." ~Unknown
"We learned about gratitude and humility - that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean...and we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect." ~Michelle Obama
