LESSON NOTE

PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT 

  (P.S.E.D.)  

 

TOPIC: DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 

Teaching responsibilities to children will help them to be successful in school and in life. 

For children, responsibilities mean doing the things they are asked to do and accepting the (result) positive or negative outcome of their actions. 

Ingraining responsibilities in children is one major life skills they need to achieve success in life.  

Children who do not have responsibilities feel entitled and think people will always do things for them. 

Responsibility is not just about completing a task, it is also about attitude, taking action and being proud of it; not just having people do things for you but doing certain things for yourself. 

 

 

LESSON 1: MEANING OF RESPONSIBILITY 

Before you can instill responsible behavior in the children, they need to understand what responsibility means.  

Explain to them that responsibility is doing something you are expected to do. Responsibility might be a task. For example, you are expected to brush your teeth everyday; brushing your teeth is your responsibility. 

If you are given home work, it is your responsibility to do the homework. 

 

PROMPTING QUESTION:  What is Responsibility? 

RESPONSE:    Responsibility means doing the things I am expected to do at all time.

LESSON 2: THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR ACTIONS 

EXPLANATION: Teach them not to blame others when things go wrong. For instance, when they forget their water bottle in school, they should not blame anybody but themselves. 

They should take responsibility for that. 

 Let the children know that result or consequence is the outcome of our action. 

Consequence can be good (positive) or bad (negative) 

Example, if you do all your house chores, the consequence is that you will be allowed to watch cartoon or your parents will reward you by getting a new toy for you.  This is a positive or good consequence. But if you fail to do the chores, the consequence is that you will not watch cartoon. When others are watching television, you will be doing the work. Or your parent will not get a new toy for you. That is a bad or negative consequence. 

Another example is that, if you keep your toy car carelessly and someone steps on it and breaks it, the consequence of your carelessness is that your toy is broken. 

So, explain to the children that consequence is what happens as a result of our actions. If our actions are good, the consequence will be good but if our actions are bad, the consequence will be bad. Use the lesson to inspire the children to always strive towards taking good actions so as to enjoy good consequences. 

 

PROMPTING QUESTION:    What is consequence? 

RESPONSE:  Consequence is what happens because of my actions.  

If my actions are good, the consequence will be good if my actions are bad, the consequence will be bad. 

It is good for me to always take good actions so that I can enjoy good consequences.

LESSON 3: EXAMPLES OF GOOD AND BAD ACTIONS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES 

You can adapt this lesson based on the common behaviours you observe in your children in the class. If a child is prone to fighting for example, tell him or her that the consequence is that one day he may get injured and may suffer severe pain from the injury as a consequence. Also, the child who fights all the time may not have friends because people will avoid him or her. 

Also, a child who always makes noise or plays in the class while the teacher is teaching may not do well in his or her exam. For not doing well in exam, his parent may not get him a new toy or a new dress as a consequence of not doing well in school work. 

However, a child who is always gentle, pays attention in class, does her home work and helps her parents at home will enjoy good consequences like- good grades in school which may earn him or her new toys and dresses, many people will want to be her friends etc. 

 

PROMPTING QUESTION: Examples of bad actions and the consequences 

RESPONSE:    Examples of bad actions and their consequences 

Fighting is a bad action; I may get injured as the consequence 

Stealing is a bad action; I may be beaten and hated by people as the consequence 

Playing rough is a bad action; I may get injured as the consequence 

Not doing my home work is a bad action; I will have poor grades as the consequence 

 

Paying attention in class is a good action,

LESSON 4: RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOURS AT HOME 

You have to make the children to be responsible in the classroom, at home and in the community. They must know the various behavior and tasks they will carry out at home that will make them responsible children. 

We have outlined these tasks believing that the children in this class are 4 years and above.   

 

PROMPTING QUESTIONS:    What are your Responsible behaviors at home? 

RESPONSE:    My responsible behaviours at home are: 

I should dress my bed when I wake up in the morning 

I should clean the table and wash the plates after eating 

I should put my dirty clothes in the dirty basket (laundry basket) 

I should do my home work all the time 

I should sleep on time to wake up early for school. 

 

 

TAKE HOME PRACTICAL: 

When you come to school tomorrow, you will mention 5 responsible behaviours you did at home.  

 

 

 

LESSON 5: RESPONSIBLE ACTIONS IN SCHOOL 

For adults, being responsible means working and earning money. You can create classroom jobs that the children will be responsible for through out the week. Each child can be assigned a job, like sharpening of a pencil, or turning off the light at close of school, arranging the chairs and tables in the class. Picking up pieces of paper from the floor;  

 

PROMPTING QUESTION: Mention your responsible actions in school 

RESPONSE:    My responsible actions in school are 

I should not throw paper, juice can or snacks nylon on the ground 

  I should put them in the trash can 

I should not fight with anybody, fighting is not a responsible behaviour 

I should not abuse my classmates and friends; use of abusive words is bad behaviour 

I should not make noise when the teacher is teaching; noise making is bad behaviour  

 

 

LESSON 6: IMPORTANCE OF BEING RESPONSIBLE 

The children have learnt that there is consequence for every action they take or refuse to take. They know that responsible behavior attracts positive consequence and irresponsible behavior attracts negative consequence. They should also know that apart from the consequences, there are other benefits they enjoy for being responsible. For instance, when they are responsible, they will be liked by people, they will not get into trouble, they will not get into danger, they will be given freedom even to do certain things since they can be trusted, etc. 

PROMPTING QUESTION:  What will happen if you are responsible? 

RESPONSE: If I am responsible 

People will love me 

People will trust me 

I will be happy at all time 

I will be save from danger and trouble

TOPIC:  THE CONCEPT OF GOAL SETTING 

After the children have understood what responsibility is, you can introduce the concept of goal setting to them. They are never too young to set out goals for themselves. Let them know that when they set a goal, achieving that goal is also being responsible. 

Children that start ahead, stay ahead. Teaching children goal setting is the best way to help them start ahead and secure their future. 

Goal setting enhances a child’s motivation, focus, self discipline and self esteem. 

As teachers, our main goal is to help children to have a secured future. So, if we want our children to have a successful, satisfying and happy future, goal setting is one life skills they must learn early in life.
