TEACH children that their character counts. Explain
that their success and happiness depends on who
they are on the inside, not on what they have or how
they look. Teach the Six Pillars of Character:
trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness,
caring and citizenship.
ENFORCE the six pillars of character. Reward good
behavior with praise and discourage bad behavior by
imposing fair, consistent consequences. Demonstrate
courage and firmness by enforcing these core values
even when it is difficult or costly to do so.
ADVOCATE character. Continually encourage kids to
live up to the six pillars of character. Don't be nuetral
about the importance of character and don't be casual
about inappropriate conduct. Be clear and
uncompromising in your expectations that your
children will be trustworthy, respectful, responsible,
fair, caring and good citizens.
MODEL good behavior. Everything you say and do
sends a message about your values. Be sure these
messages reinforce your lessons about doing the
right thing, even when it is difficult. When you slip, be
accountable; apologize sincerely and do better!

Think before you act! Ask
yourself:
Have I thought about the way my
choices are likely to help or hurt
other people?
Am I living the six Pillars of
Character...even if I to give up
something that I want?
If I cannot find a way to live up to
one of the Six Pillar values
