Foster personal responsibility from "summary" of Self-control by Alexandra W. Logue

It is important to foster personal responsibility in order to live a successful and meaningful life. Taking ownership of our lives and decisions can help us to become more self-aware and intentional about how we live each day. Positive changes start with small steps and a commitment to personal growth.
  1. Helping build a sense of ownership and awareness of obligations is important for instilling responsibility from an early age. Allowing children to take part in make decisions, recognizing and rewarding positive behaviors and enforcing necessary repercussions when wrongdoing occurs will encourage them to own up to their actions.

  3. Nurturing an environment where personal responsibility is respected and encouraged can help children build strong character traits from a very young age. Parents can do this by reinforcing the idea that individuals have the power to make decisions, both good and bad. It means teaching them consequences of choices, as well as how to problem solve and bounce back after mistakes.
  4. Helping children cultivate self-awareness is vital in fostering personal responsibility; this involves noticing one’s own thoughts and emotions, regulating impulses, reflecting on behavior and learning from experience. Once children are able to understand themselves, they can learn to understand and respect others around them and begin to make sound judgments based on appreciating proper behavior versus unacceptable behavior.
  5. Encouraging children to take responsibility for their own actions builds autonomy and independence . Teaching kids to internalize their values, rather than following the dictates of authority figures, requires setting rules and making sure they understand why these rules exist and what will happen if they are not followed.
  6. Providing an atmosphere of acceptance and trust is important in encouraging personal responsibility. A supportive relationship between adults and children can go a long way in helping children develop a sense of purpose and accountability for their words and deeds while at the same time feeling they have a safe place to turn to and learn.
  7. Modeling responsible behavior is an essential practice when fostering personal responsibility in children. Kids are constantly watching and mimicking adult behavior, so emphasizing right principles is a great way to help them take charge of their own lives and become capable of self-management through healthy habits and routines.
