Positivity Project - Week of January 9, 2023

Positivity Project

This week’s character strength is prudence.  Prudence is the ability to do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason.  It’s a future-oriented way of thinking that helps a person set goals, make plans, and have the discipline to accomplish them.  It is cognitive- more a strength of the head than of the heart. 

The site P2 For Families is available for connecting P2 to your home and you can learn more about the site here. Many of the slides are password protected and the password is P2 (case-sensitive).

Next Week’s Character Strength: Perseverance
