Read
Choose a story together. Look at the cover and let your child set the pace.
Talk
Wonder about the character instead of asking a child to reveal private experiences.
Explore
Draw a favourite moment or try one of the companion activities. Participation is optional.
Kindness with Boundaries
Kindness can grow alongside self-respect. Children can care about others while saying how they feel, asking for space and noticing their own needs. Try: “I want to help, and I need a little space first.” Adults can model listening to a clear no without demanding an explanation.
