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.)
