"Building Character Starts with Getting Your Kids To Talk."

Parenting Tips by Jean Tracy, MSS, for grades K-6:

This Parenting Tip Gives Parents and Kids One of the Dilemma Discussions in My:

Dilemma Discussion Kit

Do you wonder how your child makes moral decisions when you aren't there to help? Would you like to prepare her to make good choices? Inside you'll find a fun parenting tip here to help your child make good moral decisions and build character too.

Parenting Tip for Dilemma Discussions:

Use Role-Playing ~ Role-playing moral dilemmas involves your child putting herself into the shoes of another kid. This helps your child understand where the other child is coming from. Consider discussing and role-playing this moral dilemma:

"Your best friend just gave you the toy you saw her steal."

5 Dilemma Discussion Questions:

1. Will you keep the toy?
2. Why or why not?
3. Why do you think she acted the way she did?"
4. What would you like to tell your friend?
5. If you do the right thing, how will you feel about yourself?

After you discuss the questions with your child, role-play the dilemma from beginning to end. This will help your child make moral decisions in the future when she's pressured to do the wrong thing.
