Creating a Good Sense of Character

One way to teach your child how to demonstrate good character is by allowing them the opportunity to do things for others or for their community.  This provides them with a sense of pride, responsibility and respect for themselves, as well as others.  Each month I will post a few ways that you and your child(ren) can have some fun and at the same develop those important skills.
SEPTEMBER SERVICE IDEAS:
If you love surprises, plant fall bulbs now. When spring comes, you will be treated to beautiful blooms. How about planting a few for a friend or neighbor?

Clean out your book shelves. Find old—but still good—books that you don’t need or want anymore. Give them to your school (for the aftercare library) or donate them a local library or church.
I hope you have lots of fun doing these together!
