Raising Kind, Caring, Good Kids

$52.00

Give your child the skills to battle worry and build confidence. By teaching positive character traits—like compassion and gratitude—we give our children the tools to self-motivate, build positive relationships, and effectively manage stress and worry.

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.

I’ve bought a few of your unit studies and love the way you’ve compiled things and the ways you provide options for learning extensions. I run a licensed family daycare and feel like I’m able to add an extra level of quality and engagement to what I offer to families, thanks to your inspiration.

Just wanted to share with you how much fun we’re having with the human body unit study. My 5 yo was able to correct his buddy from down the street about what your rib cage is and what organ it protects and what its function is!! My 13 yo is my teaching assistant this year and she’s even enjoying them! Although, don’t tell her that - she’s too cool for this little kid stuff 🙄😁😂 (The Human Body)

Your unit gets to the point and is in a language kids will actually connect with! AND it’s not full of write a paragraph, write, write, write and more writing! (Reptiles)

I am currently using this for our homeschool unit on dinosaurs. It involves little to no preparation, which is a plus with a toddler around. It is very engaging and hands on which I love, and it keeps my five year old engaged with room to grow into should we pull it out in future years. He looks forward to this daily. (Dinosaurs)

I used this resource when I home schooled my nephews. They both loved all the things that we learned about dinosaurs! It had so many great learning activities that were hands on and engaging. (Dinosaurs)

My students love rocks and they loved this resource. I have these Geodes that were just waiting to be broken and this allowed us to learn about them while we broke them. The kids had awesome day. (Rocks & Gems)
