Fairness – The Six Pillars of Character

Colegio Interamericano continues to reinforce values among our students. This time, the emphasis is on the value of Fairness.

HOW TO BE A FAIR PERSON

  • Treat people the way you want to be treated.
  • Take Turns.
  • Tell the truth.
  • Play by the rules.
  • Think about how your actions will affect others.
  • Listen to people with an open mind.
  • Don’t blame others for your mistakes.
  • Don’t take advantage of other people.
  • Don’t play favorites.

FOR PARENTS

  • Talk with your child about the importance of being fair with people. Make sure he/she knows that it is important to you, and that it will lead to stronger friendships.
  • Watch a television program together. Perhaps find a non-violent courtroom drama. And talk about the various ways in which the characters acted unfairly towards one another.
  • Remember that you are a powerful role model for your child. If you treat people fairly, that is what your child will learn from you.

ARE YOU A FAIR PERSON?
(Use this self-evaluation to have a discussion with your child.)
