“Who gossips with you will gossip of you”


Today in guidance we discussed gossip: how to identify it, how to deal with it, and how destructive it is to both the gossiper and others.
Vocabulary for the day:
Gossip: rumors, unflattering talk done behind someone's back (can be true or untrue).
Condone: means to overlook or accept without protest. By remaining silent, we condone gossip.
Integrity: having beliefs about fairness and honesty and sticking to them.

Please discuss gossip at your dinner table tonight and help your child learn to identify gossip and deal with it kindly but firmly.
