Little Boost

As a frequent volunteer at school, I am often in the position where I find myself helping out a distressed little one.

The best way I have found to get a shy, scared, or sad child to summon the courage to move forward with their day is to tell them how important they are to their class.

In my observations, little kids feel as small as their stature. They have no idea about their place in the world. Having someone tell them that they are important can boost their inner strength.
