Character Counts

 

On this page I will be sharing thoughts with you from 180 Days of Character, by Donna B. Forrest, Ed.S. (Parents please share and discuss these with your child)  I will add to these regularly (almost daily) but leave the old ones for awhile before removing them. I hope you enjoy these and check this icon regularly.

Your good character can never be taken away from you by anyone but you!!

  • No one can give you good character OR take good character away from you.
  • If you exercise and practice good character, your good character becomes stronger (just like your muscles become stronger when you exercise them).
  • ___________(your name)  is in charge of __________'s good character.

 Good character traits can become good life habit!

  • Habits are things we repeat over and over.
  • If you practice good character traits (such as honesty, respect, responsibilty, courage, kindness, etc...) then these traits become life habits.
  • Good character habits help us with negative peer pressure (you can say "no" faster since your good character has become a habit).

Your character is who you really are inside yourself.

  • You control the kind of person you want to be - no one else.
  • Practicing good character allows greater peace in your heart.
  • Only you know what you expect of yourself and your actions.
