It is made up of our outlook and daily habits associated with feelings, thoughts, and actions. Responsible people act the way they should whether or not anyone is watching. We want our children to appreciate the importance of being responsible. We also want them to develop the habits and strength to act this way in their everyday lives. Respect and Compassion for Others As part of being responsible, children need to respect and show concern for the well-being of other people.
Respect ranges from using basic manners to having compassion for the suffering of others.
Compassion is developed by trying to see things from the point of view of others, and learning that their feelings resemble our own. She is very sad. One of her closest friends just died. Come and sit with me. I felt sad and lonely.
