Good citizens understand that they have a responsibility to the community,
environment and law. You can instill in your child the virtue of citizenship by
explaining the difference between good and bad citizenship.
Traits
of good citizenship:
Being
a good neighbor by caring for others.
Sharing
your time and skills to the community to make it better, cleaner and safer.
Conserving
resources by practicing the three R's: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
Staying
informed on issues and voicing your opinions by voting.
You
can be a positive role-model for citizenship by doing the following:
Show
concern for the success and safety of others.
Use
non-judgmental language that does not offend or demean.
Do
the right thing, especially when it is difficult.
Do
the right thing, even when no one is looking.
Take
responsibility for your actions.
Reflect
on how your actions affect the welfare of others.
