Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:      You need attention when you are hurt.

PRACTICE: Think about the last time you were hurt. Did someone help you? How? Was it the type of help you needed?

Make a list of things that you think are helpful for you when you are hurt.

Plan to ask for those things the next time you are hurt. Remember, asking for help is a powerful thing to do. You can believe that many people want to help you.

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.)
