Read the following passage and answer questions 6-8.   

Child responsibility involves him or her making decisions, being trusted and learning to take credit or blame for action done. Taking responsibility is not just about how the choices the child makes affect her, but also how his or her choices and actions affect other people. Being responsible can help your child feel important. It makes him or her feel that he or she is contributing to both the family and the community.

One of the best ways to teach your child about responsibility is to be a role model for his or her own benefits and others. Look out for friends and neighbours, volunteer in your community and be dependable. Arrive to gatherings on time, admit when they are wrong and apologize for mistakes. If your child sees adults doing these things, he or she is much more likely to do the same.
