Mar 28, 2023 · What are the Christian character traits we should be aiming to encourage and develop in children through our parental example and the wise use of unscheduled “teachable moments”? Here’s an alphabetical checklist you might want to keep on hand for future reference.

Gratitude changes everything. It determines your joy in life.If you can always find something to be grateful for, you will always be able to find joy. It seems that gratitude isn’t as present in the world today as it used to be, which probably has a lot to do with technological developments, social media, and celebrities/influencers. Always wanting...
The simplest way to explain integrity to children is“doing the right thing when no one is watching.” Don’t do something simply to gain praise or reward, do it because you know that it’s the right thing to do in your heart. Teaching this can be as complicated or straightforward as you would like, meaning you can make it age-appropriate and teach it ...
Being modest used to be the norm, and immodesty was less common. Nowadays, it seems to be the opposite. Media has a significant influence on this, as well as how people treat one another. For example, it can be confusing when a girl who dresses and acts modestly gets less attention from other people their age than the girls who dress and act immode...
Kindness cures everything. Nothing feels greater than when someone is kind to you, and nothing gives you more purpose than being kind to others. If everyone prioritized teaching their children to be kind, can you imagine what the world would be like in the next couple of decades? Being kind doesn’t just apply to other people. It includes showing ki...
Forgiveness is a powerful quality to possess for many reasons. We are expected to forgive one another because Heavenly forgives us, despite all of the many sins that we have committed. So it is only right that we can forgive each other as well. But the most amazing thing about forgiveness is something a lot of people don’t realize. Forgiveness is f...
Resilience and endurance go hand in hand.Endurance is to keep pressing forward through whatever trials come your way. Resilience is the ability to recover and bounce back from trials and hardships. The best way to practice resilience is to know that God is on your side, no matter what happens. He has a plan, and whatever you go through will benefit...
An easy way of explaining to children what it means to have faith is to believe in something even when you can’t see or prove it. Faith in God is enough to get us through the hardest of times, giving us hope when nothing can. It’s so important that we teach our children not only to believe in God but to trust in Him always. Knowing that whatever ha...
Humility and pride are a little bit more challenging to explain to young children. To have humility and be humble is to be willing to be vulnerable and admit your mistakes. It means knowing that you’re not perfect and won’t be the best at everything you do. Humility involves being willing to be taught because you admit that you don’t know everythin...
Doing what you can to feelclose to God is essential for a joyful life, and it’s so important that we teach this to our children early on. Being close to God is feeling like you’re never alone and being able to know that someone loves you more than you could ever imagine.
Early on, mothers and children enjoyed the Sisters' hospitality each summer as they fled the heat of nearby cities. Retreats were offered at Stella Niagara for many years. The Center of Renewal, opened in 1974, continues the sisters' ministry of hospitality today.
