Help your child:
- Understand the negative impact of bullying,
- Appreciate the importance of showing support for someone who is being bullied,
- Recognize that kindness, compassion, and empathy can have healing powers.
Through engaging and relatable stories, the Tales of Total Kindness series was developed with social-emotional learning in mind to help children develop their emotional intelligence (EQ). Emotional intelligence is something that can be taught to young children and is a critical factor that can lead to better relationships, improved mental health, and greater success in adulthood.
The Pancake Girl: Math Monday is coming. It is Frankie's least favorite day. But this Monday will be different for Frankie and for Ruby, the new girl at Thanks-Welcome school. Ruby is a math-a-magician. Math makes her feel fluffy but meansters make her feel flat like a pancake. Big-hearted Frankie helps Ruby find the courage to share her math magic. Together the two new friends chase away their Math Monday blues.
Questions at the back of the book can be used as a guide by parents, educators, and counselors to initiate discussions.
