CEPS KIDS 

This term we are working on RESPONSIBILITY 

and next week we are looking at

Fixing Things up

From time to time we make mistakes.  At times we make these mistakes

accidentally, at other times we are careless or occasionally we simply choose to do something we should not. Mistakes are a normal part of growing up and if we learn from our mistakes we end up better in the end. 

Learning to "fix things up" after mistakes is a difficult thing to do, but it is so important. "Fixing things up" means repairing the damage you have caused to someone or something. It means you take responsibility for what has happened and through your actions prove to others and yourself that you know you have made a mistake and you want to improve the situation. 

Be prepared to say sorry and then prove you are sorry by not letting it happen again.  If something has been damaged, offer to fix it or replace it. 

Take responsibility for your actions and be the first to say sorry; don't wait until you have to apologise or told to by someone else.
