Introduction

Character Crew activities help you and your children discuss important qualities each person should display toward God, self, others and creation. This month Focus on Your Child presents lessons about compassion.

Please spend some time with your child this month explaining the virtues of compassion and suggest ways to serve those who are less fortunate.

As parents/guardians, we should set aside time to teach our children character traits that will make them outstanding, admired citizens. Everyday is filled with opportunities for helping them learn about the character traits we value and want to encourage.

This character trait package provides suggestions of good activities for compassion. But you, as the child’s most important teacher, are the best judge of which activities are the most appropriate.
