Honesty and responsibility
What are you doing today that encourages children and teens to be honest, keep promises made, share ideas and dreams, have respect for themselves and others and resolve conflict in a mature fashion?
It’s very easy to pass the buck and not take the time to have honest communication with kids. It’s much easier to teach only what’s in the text, let them watch television for hours each day or sit in front of their computers.
Everything and anything you can do to encourage an actual extended conversation with a child will make a difference in their lives and in their ability to think indiscriminately and make wise choices.
