In addition to our virtue focus on COURAGE, we are spending time in January on the following Discipline with Purpose skills: Figuring out on your own how to accomplish a task and Leadership. A good reminder for both of these is, “Think and look before asking.” And, instead of being quick to give your child the answer to something, ask what he or she thinks an answer could be. It’s also good to ask your child what the first or next step in a task is and have him or her do it instead of doing it yourself.
