family. Discuss these questions with them. What is a promise?
What does it mean to keep your word? What does it mean to be
trustworthy? What does honesty mean?
- Commit: Discuss these questions with your
family. Why is a promise important? Why is it important for
people to trust you when you give your word? When might it be
difficult to be truthful? List examples.
- Practice: Discuss with a family member why it
is important to be trustworthy and honest. How can you do your
best to be honest even when it is difficult?
