Responsibility is an important character trait to teach to kids. These 20 Ways to Teach Kids to be Responsible from my character building series can help.
We can start teaching this to our kids at a young age, and my goal is to help equip you to do just that. In parenting, we have to approach it all with intention. Here you will find compilation of the lessons and activities I’ve done with my kids as well as resource I’ve found around the web that teach responsibility.
Character Building Series
If you are new to my character building education series, let me tell you a little bit more about these lessons. If you check out my character building tab, you will discover 52 character traits we work on throughout the year, which equals one word per week to focus on with your kids.
Hovering over the tab will reveal all of the words. Each character trait has 7-9 lessons, so if you wanted to work on character daily, this can be an amazing resource.
This year, I want to focus on cleaning up my series by presenting the lessons to you be compiling all of my lessons on a particular week, this week focusing on respect. In this series, you will find a word, definition, scripture to memorize, book lists and a number of activities and crafts related to the topic.
I have also included links to other bloggers who have lessons on the trait. I hope you are inspired to work on character with your kids because being intentional in your parenting will help give great direction to both you and your children.

Parents all want their kids to be responsible and in my view, a kid can be an adult when he/she knows how to be responsible for things that he/she has done! There are still many irresponsible people in their forties!
Totally agree. Working hard to try and avoid that. 🙂
