Discretion

Discretion means being careful about what you say and do. It's like thinking before you speak or act so that you don't make mistakes or hurt someone's feelings. It's important to use discretion when you're around other people, especially if you don't know them very well, because you don't want to do or say something that could upset them. It's also important to use discretion when you have important information or secrets, because you don't want to tell anyone who might not keep it private. Discretion is like having a really good filter in your brain that helps you decide what's appropriate to say or do in different situations.
