While on the go, ask your kid: “When have you seen someone do something good lately—either through an action or something they said?”

At a meal this week, have everyone answer this question: “What is a choice you’ve had to make this week between right and wrong? Between helping or being kind to someone—or not? What did you choose? How do you feel about your choice now?”
