Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:        Children can learn how to help when someone is hurt.

PRACTICE:   Read BOO HOO BIRD today. With your child, make a list of the ways Boo Hoo Bird was helped. If your child is young, you could draw pictures of the different ways.

Ask your child if he thought Bird had more help than he needed. Ask him what he would have done for bird, if he were there.

Let him know that it is a good thing to help people when they are hurt and that they might need some special attention right then.

Today’s Parenting Tip was inspired by our featured picture book, BOO HOO BIRD.  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 the Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
