CHARACTER EDUCATION
Presented by: Hollee Saville
Discover why character education is essential for children’s development. Character education is an intentional approach to teaching children about human values and morals such as kindness, respect, responsibility, fairness, honesty, and courage. Fred Rogers said, “There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.” High quality character education emphasizes human interactions, boosting children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and ethical development and creating positive and inclusive environments. Explore simple ways to incorporate character education in your program to foster their problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills and give them skills that will last a lifetime. *This training meets the annual child development/behavior guidance requirement for family child care*
