Parent Engagement
Families play a vital role in promoting kindness and inclusion. Use these discussion prompts to start conversations at home:
- What does belonging mean to you?
- Have you ever seen someone being bullied? What did you do?
- Have you ever bullied someone or done something hurtful? How did you feel afterward?
- Why do you think some kids bully others?
- How can we make others feel included?
- Who are trusted adults you can talk to if you need help?
- Why is kindness important? Share a time someone was kind to you.
