How to Demonstrate Responsibility

This is from Character Journal (http://CharacterJournal.com). I love it! Tomorrow we will discuss Responsibility with finances.
_____________________________

at Home

* Teach children responsibility by assigning chores relative to their age and ability.
* Take care of your own belongings and pick up after yourself.
* Answer children’s questions from the Word of God. Don’t just give them your pat-answers to their questions. Show them what the Bible has to say about the type of friends they should choose, how they should use their money etc. Demonstrate that God’s Word is our final Authority for life and that we are responsible to obey it’s instruction.
* Recognize that older brothers and sisters are responsible to be a Godly example to their siblings.
* If you break or damage an item belonging to someone else, don’t just ask forgiveness but be prepared to replace it with an item of similar value.
* If you have failed to keep promises to other members of the family, ask their forgiveness and make things right.

at Work/School

* Be respectful to teachers and other authorities.
* Complete assignments and projects on time.
* Don’t use “Company Time” for private business.

at Church

* Discover and exercise your spiritual gift.
* Pray for your church leadership.
* Pick up your own personal belongings and put hymn books and other items back where they belong.

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
