February's Citizenship Word of the Month: INTEGRITY
The family is certainly an ideal place in which to model and teach the value of integrity. There are numerous times and occasions in our home settings when each of us has to show his or her skills of being honest and making good, moral decisions. Our children need our help in recognizing the value of integrity -- learning the importance of honesty. Integrity is our sense of what is right and wrong. One way to think of it is like this: "Are my actions in sync with my words?" For example, if we say we are honest, our actions should show we are honest.
How do we teach this to our children?
-
We must model appropriate behavior and show children that OUR words and actions are in sync and that we are true to our word.
-
We can help our children solve a real problem they are dealing with by talking about how to use integrity to solve the problem.
-
We can play board games at home and discuss why it is important to be honest when playing games with others.
