Day 36

Encourage storytelling

Tip

Curiosity will be a key personality trait for your child this year! Asking open-ended, fun questions help children learn how to tell stories, use their imagination and practice curiosity. As you listen to their stories you are building a positive sense of self. Example – “If you could make your own school what would it be like?” Now, really listen to their answers with a few “wow!”, “oh!”, and “I never thought of that, you are so creative!” affirmations sprinkled in.

Tool

Community Connection

Today’s connection is a family connection. Have your child call or video call a family member and share their answer to your own fun question or the one we offered, “If you could make your own school, what would it be like?”

Let the family member know this is practice for sharing their ideas and imagination in class which, by the way, starts next week!
