As a Traditional Learning Center we spend time intentionaly teaching about Character Education through the lens of the Seven Sacred Teachings. Students learn to demonstrate their understandings through their actions both verbal and physical.
When students are showing love for self, others, and environment, one might hear and see:
students speaking positively about themselves or others - I can do this! I can help you!
student in the environment tidying up, looking at artwork with their eyes (not their hands), using learning tools for their intended purposes
As an adult we show love to our child through our actions (hugs, kisses, fist bumps) and words (great work, we need to talk, love you).
We can also show the community that we care about them too!
It is our words
good morning, how are you?, let me hold the door
as well as our actions
picking up the box or cereal in the aisle at the grocery store, a smile, helping someone who is struggling with a door
that show that we care.As parents, you are your child's primary teacher. How are you demonstrating love toward others? What can your child see and hear you do? What are they learning through your actions?
