The Responsibility Project
Responsibility, it’s a word that parents and teachers use constantly. If you’re a parent and a teacher, it’s an absolute staple in your vocabulary. If you’re looking for help on teaching about responsibility with your children, look no further.
Liberty Mutual has started a website called "The Responsibility Project" and it’s a useful resource for any parent. The website features a blog about all things responsibility related. If it has to do with taking ownership or is something that has come up in the off the beaten path news, you can find it here.
It also features several short films that range from animated shorts to more serious films that address the issues of responsibility and moral decisions. The "Lighthouse" film is short and sweet and brings up the issue of responsibilities as a member of society. It’s a refreshing and wonderful site, loaded with resources to inspire you and to inspire others.
You can also evaluate your own thoughts about responsibility as related to friends, managers, co-workers, and even chefs at the restaurants in your life. In the "What’s Your Policy?" area of the site, one can create policies for dealing with just about anyone.
The site gives one a lot to think about and is a good place to stop on a lunch break or if you’re cruising around the internet and tired of all your usual haunts.
Someone has finally taken responsibility for teaching responsibility and I couldn’t be happier about it. BBM gives "The Responsibility Project". . .
