"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - March 25, 2019
Positivity Project - Fairness
Our focus this week will be on the character strength of Fairness.
Fairness is the product of moral judgment – the process by which people determine what is morally right and what is morally wrong. Moral reasoning has been explored and analyzed in two main traditions: the justice reasoning approach and the care reasoning approach. The the character card for Fairness to learn more.
The parent virtue for the Forgiveness is Justice. Strengths of justice refer to the optimal relationship between the individual and the group or community, rather than the more one-to-one relationships in the humanity virtue. These strengths include: teamwork/citizenship, fairness, and leadership.
Please use these quotes, video links, and character card to host conversations with your child about the character strength.
"It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself." ~Eleanor Roosevelt
"Friendship is never anything but sharing." ~Elie Wiesel
