Honesty Motto Nr 6

Honesty Motto Nr 5

“When you cheat you cheat yourself.” For example, if you say to your coach you did 15 laps but you actually did 12 you are only cheating yourself. You will not become as fit as you could be. If you cheat at a tennis game and you win you will not feel like a winner. [...]

How to Handle a Lie

All children lie at some stage. It is a normal part of their development and not something we as parents have to take personal. With younger children it is sometimes difficult to know the difference between a lie and a tall story. The best way to do this is to look at why a child is [...]
