Single Parenting from a Father’s Perspective.

Integrity is defined as:

1. Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.
2. The state of being unimpaired; soundness.
3. The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness.

Have you taught your child what integrity is?

Anastasia was doing her homework the other day when she asked me what integrity was.  I questioned the fact she didn’t know what integrity was.  Surely I taught her integrity.

I guess I did not.

I realized in that moment without the knowledge of why she follows a path of good swaying away from bad, she doesn’t know why she is doing it.  I have spent the last few days showing her examples and explaining how my integrity teaches me right from wrong and doing wrong on to others.

Here is homework for you:  Does your child know what integrity is?  Ask them to explain it to you.

I am not a teacher in any stretch of an imagination and I barely know what I am doing half the time.  I just thought if this stunned me, it may stun some other parents out there.
