When children support other people, it underlines their knowledge that struggling

isn’t personal. It’s part of the growth. It’s not about fixing it — it’s about letting

someone know they aren’t alone and that their feelings aren’t too big or unnatural.

3. Be There When it Gets Tough

2. Teach Something They KnowHelp your child notice opportunities to share their knowledge,

and watch their confidence and compassion soar.

Demonstrate tricky tasks (how to do a math problem, tie a

shoe, or read the instructions for a younger sibling or a friend).

Explain how to do things to help someone else learn.

Help Others Toward Their Goal1.Children can learn they can help others by being a support

system.

Listen to others work through a problem and support their struggle.

Children can:

Offer suggestions or observations without doing the work for them.

Keep someone company as they try a new task and encourage

them to keep going.

Children can:

Use their empathy and compassion to support others when they are

struggling.

Children can:

Support a friend who doesn’t make the team, can’t get the notes

correct, or misses moving to the next reading level by a few points.
