Courage is necessary when being assertive—Stand up for yourself and defend your beliefs!
CHARACTER TRAIT:
Courage becomes more important as students start to identify who they are and what they want for their lives. Today’s children are subjected to many outside influences—magazines, television, movies, internet, peers, etc. It can become hard for children to distinguish between positive and negative influences. Having courage means being assertive and standing up for your beliefs.
