I Am Responsible For Me
Teaching kids responsibility at home, at school, and in their community.
Watch the video and have a discussion with your class or someone you know. Below, there are some suggested questions or writing prompts.
“I know I didn’t do what you asked me to, but it’s not my fault!”
Everyone has responsibilities, whether at home, at school or in the community. We have a duty to do what we should do when we should do it. When this doesn’t happen, how should we respond?
I want to help every student be reminded that “I am Responsible for Me!”
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION:
What do you think it means to be responsible for you?
The definition I give for responsibility is doing what you should do when you should do it. Do you agree or disagree with that definition? Why do you agree or disagree with that definition?
Was it Cam’s mom’s fault or Cam’s fault that he couldn’t go to his friend’s house? Why did you choose that answer?
Have you ever forgotten to do things you were responsible for? What happened?
