Responsibility and good choices
Stories for children about responsibility: tidying up, chores, telling the truth, making good choices, good manners and self-control.
6 stories
Growing up brings a long list of small responsibilities: putting toys away, feeding a pet, hanging up a coat, helping at home.
It also brings bigger questions. Should I tell the truth about the broken vase? Is it fair to take the shortcut? What will happen if I do this? Alongside them come the everyday rules of living with others, from using a quiet voice indoors to waiting your turn to speak.
Stories let your child follow a choice to its end without facing the consequences themselves. They can see a character own up, put something right, or learn why a rule is there, and discover that taking care of things and telling the truth feel good. A story turns these lessons into something to talk about rather than something to be told.
On this shelf you will find stories about tidying up and chores, honesty and owning up to mistakes, thinking choices through and being fair, and good manners and self-control.
