Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:   Your child can learn to have empathy for others.

PRACTICE: Today, search the internet for “feelings faces games.”

Either purchase a game you discover, use one available online, or get ideas about how to make a homemade version.

Play it with your child. Use the game faces to teach about feelings.

Ask what feeling your child would associate with each face. Tell stories about why a person might look (or feel) that way.

Today’s Decide and Practice daily parenting tip was inspired by our featured picture book, WILLOW FINDS A WAY.  Read the book to a child in your life each day as a reminder of what you are deciding and practicing that day.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
