Each month at Shepherd, we focus on a different learner profile attribute! Here are some ways to support developing the learner profile in your student at home!
September: Caring
Role model the caring behavior you would like to see in your child all thetime. Using kind words, helping people without being asked, being anactive listener, always show you care about people.
After reading a book, spend time considering how people in the bookacted. Was someone caring? All of the time or just some of the time? Wereall the characters in the book caring or were just some of them?
Practice random acts of kindness. Simple things like holding the door forsomeone or helping carry bags shows that you are aware of others andwant to help them.
