Day 23: Tune in
What's going on in your child's life today that you can tune into more closely? Does he have a big test at school? An important practice at which she needs to do well, in order to be on the starting rotation for the volleyball game? Does he need to clear things up with a teacher or friend?
Put a sticky note where your child can see it today, letting them know that you are thinking about them. Let them know you believe in them. And make sure to follow up by asking how it all went.
Coach's Corner: Kids want freedom, but stepping out and doing things on their own can also be scary. In the research for For Parents Only, the kids said they felt a great sense of security if they knew Mom and Dad were resolutely cheering them on as they ventured forward.
The 30-Day Kindness Challenge is brought to you via our partnership with Shaunti Feldhahn, and is based on her research for The Kindness Challenge.
