Virtues
To be tolerant is to accept differences. You don't expect others to think, look, speak or act just like you. Tolerance is being free of prejudice, knowing that all people have feelings, needs, hopes and dreams. To be tolerant also means to accept things you wish were different with flexibility and patience.
Here are some questions to discuss with your child regarding tolerance:
If someone wanted to play cards with you and your friend, and you were in the middle of a game, how would you be tolerant and assertive at the same time? What would you say?
What does prejudice mean?
What is it like for someone who feels excluded because they are different?
What would you say if someone made a racist remark in front of you?
Name three things people can do to spread tolerance instead of prejudice.
What are some things in your life that call for a tolerant attitude? (Things you wish were different.)
