Online Resources on Character Building
Compiled by Charlene Davis
Character building is such an important way to inoculate students against predatory bullying behavior. Its greatest benefit, however, is probably the strengthening reinforcement imparted to the child’s character that serves him, in – and out – of school! Strengthened by character building, the child’s self-esteem is not so easily wounded, causing him to feel impaired, or inadequate. Below are some websites that share great tips for character building. Happy exploring!
