when we talk about character are we talking about Superman Wonder Woman or SpongeBob do think about what we were going to be for Halloween maybe we think about the letters numbers and symbols we type on a keyboard sure all of these are great examples of character but I'm talking about something else what is it well let's explore that on this episode of Rocky kids I'm Vivian and let's get this started laughs when I say character what am I talking about let's make this simple character is the traits we have stay with me I said this would be simple you may have heard of kind honest respectful and fair these are character traits so our dishonest disagreeable and cruel I don't like those last ones who wants to be cruel cruel ain't cool the bottom line is this character defines who we are how we interact with each other and how we handle everything in our life there's a lot to learn about character ask your parents and teachers to help you better understand character you can also watch more of our videos about character see how I got that in there watch our videos people now I said I was going to make character easy so here is a list of three simple things to remember about character the good and the bad of character remember kind honest respectful and fair add caring responsible and loyal to the mix and we have what would be called good character traits there are a lot of positive character traits these are the things we do and how we act that people in the world might say are good or acceptable behaviors it's what we hope for and expect of others and what they want from us on the flip side of that we can look at these words I don't like dishonest disagreeable cruel and patient bossy and arrogant these may be considered negative character traits I think it goes without saying that if we are honest that's good and if we are not that's bad what we want to remember is that there are lots of negative character traits and a lot of positive character traits the question is who do you want to be character is built over time it's not like we are bored and Bam we have good character or bad character it doesn't work like that as we go through life we are surrounded by people who help Define who we are and what kind of character we may have we learn from those around us especially when we are little people like you and me we also go through things in our life that help Define our character we may have to face a fear overcome an obstacle and make decisions the way we handled these situations helped Define our character too ever heard a building character that's what I'm talking about we are always learning and sometimes building good character takes time take notes of your behaviors this is one thing I do all the time it helps me understand how my actions are connected to how I feel if I am part of a group and we are doing a project some positive character traits to have may be cooperative open and fair I know we all may have super awesome ideas that can make our project the best ever but I think my ideas the best it doesn't matter what you say my ideas the best so I am not listening to you maybe I'm disrespectful you may even think I'm being mean I don't want to be any of these make me feel bad and it makes you feel bad seeing how my actions make me and others feel can be a big help in knowing what kind of person we want to be and that helps Define our character see how that works those are my three simple things to remember about character there are positive and negative character traits characters built over time and take note and learn from how we act and what we do what are some positive character traits you have what are some things you want to work on let us know by commenting on this video we'd love to hear from you don't forget to subscribe like and share this so we can keep bringing you super great videos I'm Vivian this is rocket kids and remember to be your best self [Music]
