Good Practice

violin
A virtuoso spends a lifetime practicing his or her instrument. Similarly, your daily choices become the habits that characterize your life.

  • Beware of the small compromises, such as exaggerating, fudging an assignment, or looking down on others.
  • Emulate individuals who have good character.
  • Examine your activities, books, and entertainment based on what is true and right.


The Character First! bulletin and the Members’ Library offer many resources. You can watch videos, read stories, and even print out activity pages for your children. Learn more.
