Responsiblity-
1. Being accountable for what you do, for your actions and behavior.
2. Doing the right thing at the right time, so others can trust and depend on you.
How can you show responsibility?
1. Complete your homework and chores on time without being reminded.
2. Follow through on your commitments, even when you don’t feel like it.
3. Accept responsibility for your mistakes. Learn from them. Don’t make excuses or blame others.
4. Take care of your things and those of other people. Return items you borrow.
5. Find out what needs to be done and do it.
6. Make wise choices, such as choosing to eat healthy foods and wearing a helmet.
7. Always do your very best. Others are counting on you!
How would you demonstrate responsibility if…
1. You broke the wheel off your brother’s new skateboard?
2. Your friend asks you to play and you haven’t finished your homework?
3. You’re playing a really fun game at your friend’s house and it’s time to go home?
4. You promised your mom or dad you would clean your room but you just don’t feel like it?
5. It’s time to go to bed and you just remembered that your book report is due tomorrow?
6. You agreed to take care of your neighbor’s dog while she is away, but now a friend has invited you to a sleepover?
7. Your mom or dad isn’t feeling well and could really use some extra help around the house?
8. You forgot to bring home the book you need to study for tomorrow’s test?
The "What if....?" Game –
Look at this picture...
1. What if the farmer who grew the grain to make the bread for this sandwich decided to play ball instead of harvesting the grain?
Ok....nothing but sandwich meat...cheese and milk left on your lunch. No more bread.
2. What if the farmer who raised the animals for the meat decided he was just too tired to take the animals to market?
There goes our meat!
3. What if the dairy farmer decided it was too cold and rainy to go out and milk the cows in the morning?
Milk and cheese....GONE
4. What if the workers who harvest fruits and vegetables were too busy watching TV to work in the fields?
Say goodbye to that apple, fruit slices and salad!
5. What if the store manager and employees at the grocery store didn’t feel like working for a few weeks and played with friends instead?
There goes the tray, glass and the silverware!!
See what can happen when people do not show responsibility? We count on others to be responsible and do their jobs correctly and on time. Shouldn't we?
