You show responsibility by doing things you have offered to do,
been asked to do or have promised to do. Growing up, your
parents will often give you many tasks, like brushing your teeth,
putting away your toys, taking your pet for a walk, tidying your
room, and helping out when asked. Your teachers will also give
you tasks like completing your homework, putting resources
away, helping to tidy up, and being a reading buddy. As you get
older, you will often be given more responsibilities. You will find
that you will gain more trust when you are responsible. It takes a
lot of practice to grow up to be a responsible person. You will
need to keep promises, to do things without being asked, and to
be accountable for your own behavior. The easiest way to be
responsible is to always do the right things. You know the
difference between right and wrong, do what is right.
