Be Kind To Yourself

This week, the children learn to be kind to themselves. We use an activity to impart this leadership skill of "Kindness" to the children. Assortments of objects like baby cream, a nail cutter, a bottle of powder, sun block, sunglasses, cotton bud, a bar of soap, handgloves, socks, and etc. were placed in a pouch. Children took turns to take an object from the pouch and they were to share with others how they could use it to be kind to their bodies. For example, if a child took the bottle of baby cream, the teacher asked, "How can we be kind to our body? How can we use the baby cream to care for our body?" The child replied, "When our hands are dry, we can use the baby cream to keep our hands moist." Children came up with various responses and it had been a fun learning experience for everyone.
