SOCIAL / EMOTIONAL LEARNING
“Each member of the household should sacredly regard the feelings and respect the right of the others. By this means mutual consideration and forbearance will be cultivated, prejudices will be softened, and rough points of character smoothed.” Child Guidance p. 205
“All of us can be kind, compassionate, and gracious. All of us can be helpful, considerate, and courageous.
So remember who you are. This is your life to live. Don’t ever hold back. You have so much to give!
You’re one of a kind, and it’s so clear to see: the world need who YOU were made to be.” ~Joanna Gaines
Another beautiful children’s book written by @joannagaines and illustrated by the talented @juliannaswaney.
This one is definitely my favorite with the storyline, message, and rhyming! 💫 It’s sure to spark conversation in your home about diversity, inclusion, and character development.
