Raising Kind, Caring, Good Kids

Give your child the skills to battle worry and build confidence.

How can we help our children thrive in an increasingly uncertain world?

Here's how Raising Kind, Caring, Good Kids works:

First, you read a short story with your child.

The eight stories each focus on a positive character trait and feature an animal facing a dilemma. The story encourages your child to empathize with the animal and think about what they could do and what they should do.

Next, you learn about the traits with discussions and activities.

Your child finds and learns synonyms for the character trait in the story, gains a deeper understanding of the trait through a conversation prompt, and completes meaningful activities.

And finally, your child earns their affirmation badge.

After your child displays the character trait three times, they earn their affirmation badge! By the end of the workbook, your child will be able to say the eight affirmations with pride.

Here's what you'll receive:
