@dariusryankadem: You can’t teach a 3.5 year old to have integrity through rules or reminders, but you can wait a year for them to make sense of it. Integrity is abstract. A three-and-a-half-year-old can’t grasp it through words alone. They have to live it, feel it, practise it. To grow integrity, a child needs three skills: Self-awareness, so they understand their own motives. Self-control, so they can manage their impulses. Respect for others, so they value people’s boundaries.
