Activity - What Makes You Wonderful?
Engage with your child about being yourself.
- Whenever you can, let your child make their own choices. Would they like a blue shirt or a green shirt? Which books would they like to check out at the library? Making these choices will help them explore what they like and who they are!
- Encourage your child to explore their interests. Is your child really into dinosaurs? Help them pick out some dinosaur books at the library. Do they love to draw? Find some cool drawing videos to share with them. Let them know you support and care about their interests.
- Model positive self-talk. Avoid comparing yourself to others. If you are kind and nurturing to yourself, your child will see that and emulate your good behavior.
