Wisdom might feel like something that only comes with age and experience. It’s true, life’s ups and downs, observing the world, and natural consequences do help people grow in wisdom, but that doesn’t mean wisdom for kids is not possible. You can teach wisdom for kids and help your child grow in this trait that will serve him or her in school, friendships, decision making, and family life.
Teaching wisdom to kids takes thoughtfulness on your part. iMOM’s Good Character Traits printable is a big help. We’ve designed a calendar to help you focus on a different trait each month, but if your child needs an extra focus on wisdom, this printable can be used at any time of the year. It includes a definition you can cut out and hang on the fridge or the mirror in your child’s bathroom (or both). There’s also a Bible verse to offer direction and encouragement.
Part of teaching character to kids is having discussions about the trait and how it relates to life, so we’ve included a conversation starter question to dig deeper. It’s guaranteed to help your child think differently about wisdom. We’re so confident that these tools along with our calendar and its accompanying stickers will lead to great things for your child that the printable page includes a reward certificate with space for you to write how you saw your child exhibiting wisdom. If you really want to reinforce the lesson, you can print a handful and give a certificate to your child weekly. And because we know kids love rewards, each Good Character Trait printable comes with a coupon to give your child. Use our reward, or come up with one of your own that you know will be a big incentive. Wisdom for kids is worth the hard work you’re going to put in.
Wisdom is just one of 12 character traits we want to help you build in your kids. Here are more.
