Intro to Good Choices
Teaching Children How to Make Their Own Good Choices
Children begin forming social habits early. This begins with the choices they make every day. The Good Choices initiative helps them learn to respect themselves, their friends, teachers and parents—so they can get along better with others and get a head start in life.
Learning Core Values
Building Strong Foundations for a Bright Future
Grade school children (ages 7–13) benefit greatly from the 21 precepts of the Good Choices initiative. These focus on personal responsibility, treating others with respect and keeping one’s word.
For example:
- Taking care of themselves teaches self-respect and the value of health
- Setting a good example shows how their actions can inspire others
- Helping younger kids builds compassion and responsibility
They also learn to:
- Respect others’ beliefs
- Keep their promises
- Do their best in everything they try
These lessons help guide children to grow into strong, positive individuals who make thoughtful choices and help make the world a better place.
From Learning to Living
Transforming Knowledge into Action
The program shows kids how to live these values daily. As they practice honesty, responsibility and respect, they begin to see how their choices affect others too.
They learn to think before they act, meet challenges with confidence and build lasting relationships—a strong foundation for a successful future.
