Building Character
It is also where we feature information on the Character Quality of the Month (below). In addition to practicing and building
oneself, there are many ways for businesses, schools, faith organizations and local government to encourage and feature each Character Quality of the Month.
OBEDIENCE
Character Quality of the Month
All of us must deal with authority. Teachers report to principals; principals must answer to the school board and the school board is placed there by the voters, etc. As adults, we typically understand why we have the rules that govern our lives. This month cultivate the understanding that freedom is not the absence of restrictions.
"Obedience is much more seen in little things than in great." - Thomas Fuller “In a republic the first rule for the guidance of the citizen is obedience of the law.” - Calvin Coolidge Character qualities are courtesy of Character First!
Thoughts on Obedience are courtesy of Jill Tomey, Director of Education.
The Character Qualities of the Month are adapted from the book Achieving True Success, published by the International Association of Character Cities. This material is copyright © 2008 by the Character Council of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, unless otherwise noted. |

We devote several pages in this branch to explain some of our philosophies about character. The Build Character section of our web site provides insight into our core belief that through encouragement and positive reinforcement, these character qualities will help to strengthen and grow the fabric of ourselves, our families and our community.
