Character Education… Because your kids are counting on you.

Character education begins at home. Parents need to help build character; it doesn’t just evolve. Encouraging young people to think independently and to do right are the barebones of character education for parents. Teaching, enforcing, advocating, and modeling the Six Pillars of Character daily will set behavior boundaries that will shape the character of your kids — and yourself. The core universal values we use are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Remember the Six Pillars by its acronym, TRRFCC (terrific). Follow the T.E.A.M approach: teach, enforce, advocate, and model the Six Pillars. Your style will depend on your child’s age, but active and authoritative parenting. Your style will depend on your child’s age, but active and authoritative parenting at every age goes a long way.
