At McMeen, we work with an organization called Capturing Kids’ Hearts to promote a different value every month. During May, we are encouraging integrity. Integrity means being honest, taking responsibility for your actions, and doing the right thing even when no one is watching. You can encourage your child to behave with integrity by sharing some of the following advice:
“You can’t always control what happens, but you can control how you react.”
“When you make a mistake, it’s okay to say ‘I’m sorry’ and fix it.”
“Doing the right thing is more important than being right.”
“It’s always best to tell the truth, even when it’s hard.”
“If you make a promise, keep it. Your word is important.”
“You can always do the right thing, no matter what others are doing.”
“We all make mistakes, but what matters most is what we do next.”
