All kids need good character. But how do we build it in them? That’s what our Good Character Traits Calendar is all about.
It’s a calendar, but it’s so much more!
Every month is tied to a good character trait for kids and every character trait has resources to help your child build that character all month. Download the full calendar here.
How to Use the Resources to Teach Character
Download the calendar and sticker sheet. Display it somewhere in the home for your kids to see the character of the month and its definition.
Read our articles about each character trait, why it is important, and how you can intentionally teach your kids.

Use some or all of the resources. You can also use the printable sticker sheet to cut out and place stickers on dates you see your child showing the trait you’re working on that month. You just need to print it on one 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of sticker paper.
At the end of the year, think about what you will have accomplished—12 character traits built into the heart of your child!
