Mini Lesson

Doing the right thing means choosing the action that is safe, kind, fair, and honest. Sometimes the right choice is easy. Sometimes it takes courage.

Ask three quick questions

  • Is this choice safe for me and others?
  • Is this choice kind and fair?
  • Is this choice honest?

What the right choice can look like

  • Return something that is not yours.
  • Tell the truth and help fix a mistake.
  • Include someone instead of leaving them out.

When it feels hard

  • You can stop and think before acting.
  • You can say no to an unkind or unfair choice.
  • You can ask a trusted adult for help.
