Dear Parent or Guardian:

This week we are studying the character trait of resourcefulness.

Definitions of resourcefulness include:

 

ingenuity; imagination; and inventiveness.

Resourcefulness is the ability to find ideas within ourselves to solve our own problems. You can help your son or daughter develop this trait by modeling the correct behavior. When you have a setback in some aspect of your life, discuss this, if appropriate, with your youngster. How you deal with such difficulties will go a long way toward teaching your youngster the appropriate responses.

If you would like to participate in the reinforcement of what we are studying this week in character education, here are some ideas for you and your student to work on together:

Teach your teenager to think of resources he or she has available to him or her. This helps when determining solutions for problems. Resources are talents and skills you have, as well as other tools like determination.

Verbalize your student's problem in order to put it into perspective and give him or her a chance to think about ways he or she can solve the predicament.

Help your youngster to not make rash decisions. Sleeping on a problem will sometimes help it mend itself; if not; at least he or she can make a clear-headed choice.

"The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them."
—Author Unknown

Sincerely,

Madison Central Faculty
