26、In some schools, structured character education is a part of the curriculum, right alongside reading, writing, and math. 【1】 .
The qualities of character develop through an interaction of family, school, and community influences and the child's individual personality, experiences, and choices. Parents have many opportunities and tools to build their children's character. 【2】
Be a role model
Parents who exhibit the qualities of good character powerfully transmit their values to their children. Imagine you are honest, trustworthy, fair, compassionate, respectful, and involved in the greater good of your family and community. 【3】 They will also see that this behavior brings a sense of joy, satisfactions, and peace to their family.
【4】
Children also need to learn that when they violate your family's guiding ethics, you will carry out consequences with fairness and dignity. Always take the opportunity to explain why your child's behavior is wrong when you correct him.
Make a habit of identifying in your own mind the value you wish to teach the child based on the particular behavior. Choose a consequence that is appropriate to teach that value.
Tell stories from literature and life
Parents and teachers used stories to teach moral lessons long before books were even invented. As you tell the stories of your life and the world around you, you convey lessons in values and ethics to your children.
When you listen and respond to your children's stories about school and peers, you can help them think through the right thing to do. 【5】 . These anecdotes(趣闻轶事) show your kids how your values guide all aspects of your life.

27、How Kids Express Gratitude
Taking time as a family to practice gratitude doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming and the benefits your children will get are profound. Today we’ll be discussing ideas to help your children express their gratitude.
Make a gratitude tree. Start with a large piece of craft paper and draw a tree trunk. 【1】Each day ask your kids to think of something they’re thankful for, write it on a leaf and tape it to the tree trunk.
Go grocery shopping for a family in need. Many stores now offer premade bags to donate right at the checkout line. While this is convenient, the larger the role they play in the act of giving, the bigger the effect it will have on your kids. 【2】
Express your thankfulness for the ones you love. 【3】Print the photos in a 5"× 7" size and ask the kids to write a short note on the back explaining why they’re grateful to that person. Family members, especially those who don’t live nearby, will cherish the present.
Volunteer together. Pick a regular time, maybe one Saturday a month, and volunteer together as a family. 【4】One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up their favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.
【5】A regular gratitude practice is a wonderful habit to instill(逐渐灌输) into your children. In fact, studies have shown that people who feel gratitude on a daily basis are happier in general.
A.Keep gratitude journals.
B.Start a gratitude practice.
C.Then ask the kids to paint or color it in brown.
D.It will make the experience much more powerful.
E.Let kids take pictures of themselves with their loved ones.
F.If you can find a charity where you deliver the groceries yourself, that’s even better.
G.Let each family member take turns to pick an activity that means something to them.

“Oh! What a fantastic man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words. “Young man, work harder! You must succeed in the future! I believe in you!”
