Dear Parent or Guardian:
This week we are studying the character trait of initiative.
Definitions of initiative include: |
|
taking the first step or move; originating new ideas
or methods; and thinking and acting without being urged. |
Watching our children's independence grow is a heartening process. One
aspect of their independence is the growing increase in—or in some
cases, the first appearance of—their initiative. One morning you
might realize it has been days since you've had to remind your youngster
to practice a musical instrument or to get his or her homework done.
If you would like to help your young people develop his or her initiative
at home, here are some ideas to work on together:
| |
Acknowledge when your son or daughter has done something
productive or helpful on his or her own. |
| |
Talk and listen to your youth about ways he or she
could earn money. Encourage your child, while also letting him or
her know that beginning a new project is sometimes difficult. He
or she may have to rely on some inner resources to stick with it! |
| |
Give examples of when you or someone in your family
used their initiative. Maybe it was how they got a job, how they
started a business, or how they started a new extracurricular group
in high school or college. Explain what difficulties were involved
in the process, how they thought "outside the box," and
how they finally achieved something. |
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sincerely,
Madison Central Faculty
