Character education is an intentional process to develop stable ethical and psychological dispositions. Unlike temperament, which is innate, character is formed and transformed throughout life. The family is the first and main environment where character is cultivated, not only with words but with daily example. Beltramo proposes Five Interrelated Pillars of character education: (1) Intellectual character education (honest pursuit of truth and critical thinking), (2) Moral character education (ability to choose good consistently), (3) Performance character education (discipline, effort and personal improvement), (4) Affective literacy (recognising and channelling one’s own and others’ emotions), and (5) Civic character education (commitment to the common good and community life). These pillars offer a comprehensive guide for parents and educators seeking to form mature, ethical and socially responsible individuals.
