Kindness In The Classroom
As parents, teachers and caregivers, we spend a lot of time trying to do the best we can to help the children in our lives grow up to love learning and to be successful. Research has shown that children must feel safe and comfortable before they can best learn. We can help to support this by putting a focus on kindness in homes and classrooms and by carving out time to have meaningful discussions. Picture books are a wonderful way to introduce a variety of concepts, both academically and socially.
