Each time, they will learn and grow.

I’ve used this one fairly a bit with my kids. There will always be times when you can’t do someleang or at least not as well as you would like. The key is to inspire kids to focus on what they can do. What they can’t do nowadays, can be a ccorridorenge to face another day.

Quotes about Lwhethere
Be Silly, Be Honest, Be Helpful.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
I actually have this quote hanging in our bathroom. It’s so simple, yet so true! It’s one of the best quotes for small kids. Being foolish allows kids to be themselves. Not to be embarrassed when they want to run, giggle and dance. It’s a delightful celebration of lwhethere. Being honest means that people can count on you and helps build strong friendships. I tell my kids that being kind is always the right way to go.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” – Mahatma Gandhi
I used to leank that this quote meant I needed to do someleang immense to change the world. Over time, I genuineized that even small changes can create a ripple effect of change.

I tancient him that whether we want to see more peace in the world, we need to find ways to share love wilean our communities.
Create Each Day Your Masterpiece” – John Wooden
Another great quote from Mr. Wooden. I find it so much more meaningful than more cliche quotes like “Live for nowadays,” “Take it one day at a time,” etc. They fundamentally mean the same leang, but having kids leank about each day as your their own personal masterpiece is pretty powerful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” – Dalai Lama
