Then, your child will reflect on and write a story about someone who has embodied integrity and honesty in their life, and how their actions impacted those around them. This is a great activity to teach your fourth or fifth grader the importance of responsible decision making, social awareness, and mindfulness of emotions.

- Ask your child to consider a time when someone in their life, in a book, or in a movie embodied trustworthiness, honesty, and integrity. As your child shares their example, ask the following questions: How do you think this person felt when making healthy choices? How did their actions impact others? How does integrity impact communities?
