Dear Parent or Guardian:

This week we are studying the character trait of caring.

The definition of caring is:

 

being kind, thoughtful, and compassionate.

Every time you are caring, kind, or considerate, your child learns a huge life lesson from you. Being a caring individual improves your family, your neighborhood, your community, and the world. There are countless ways to be a caring individual. Encourage your teenager to care by showing him or her how.

If you would like to influence your student's ability to care, here are some suggestions to get you started:

Begin at home. Treat each family member with respect and care, especially when you don't see eye to eye. Every family has conflict; it is how we deal with it that makes the difference. Teach your son or daughter the rules of "fighting fairly" by handling your disagreements in a caring manner.

Demonstrate caring by being a caring person. Get involved in your community. Is there a local group that could use volunteers? Perhaps a shelter or another program about which you feel strongly? Invite your child to join you in volunteering, if appropriate.

If you are aware of a situation that has occurred in your community (house fire, loss of a job, and so forth), mobilize your family to do something to help out. Find out what the other family needs and act on it. The other family need not know the source of the help. Your youngster will learn a priceless lesson.

When you see your son or daughter acting in a caring manner, be sure to let him or her know how proud you are. Allow him or her to hear you share the information with other family members.

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."
—Aesop

Sincerely,

Madison Central Faculty
