Don't blame a child for being dishonest unless you have determined that they really have not been telling the truth. Have any discussion involving dishonesty privately, not in front of the whole class or the whole family, especially siblings.

Just recently I was reading a message that was hurtful and hateful. People are not perfect and sometimes we don't always behave appropriately. We make poor decisions and we wish we could take something hurtful back that we have said. But this is not a perfect world. That is why children become scared, worried, and anxious. The Core Values and programs like STAND (students taking a new direction) are a means in which to make our students safer and more successful.

I don't believe that children are born with empathy. It is something they learn by seeing it modeled by others.
