Kids Deserve It! Chapters Ten and Eleven
Everyone needs a cheerleader; let's practice being cheerleaders as we continue to build relationships with our High Fives. When a child approaches us, how much value do we place on them? Are we concerned where the child comes from, where they live, or the color of their skin? Of course not! Instead of dwelling on intricacies beyond our control or on a child's doubts, we foster relationships within our sphere of influence by reminding students how incredibly special and important they are. Remind your High Five this week of the diamond inside, putting each of them in a precious stone store. We champion kids, love them unconditionally, and are their cheerleaders. Why? Because Our Kids Deserve It!
