Happy Friday~

This month we celebrate the IB Learner Profile Attribute of being an Caring. The IB Learner profile aims to develop students who are caring. Students who are CARING show empathy, compassion and respect towards the needs and feelings of others. They have a personal commitment to service, and act to make a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment. They remember to treat others how they themselves would like to be treated.

IB students tell us they bring this commitment to community and others to their activities and leadership roles at university and carry it throughout their lives.

Catch your child being a good "caring" and tweet it out @laspositaslions or send them for me to share.

Have a great weekend~

• Start by practicing empathy. Model the caring behavior you would like to see in your child. Your child notices everything you do! Using kind words, helping others and being an active listener will show your child that you care about other people.
• Help your child consider the feelings of others. Ask, "What do you think she's upset about?" "How would you feel if that happened to you?"
• Read books that demonstrate caring and kindness. Discuss the message of the story and how it can be applied in your every day lives. Ask, "What are some things we can do to show kindness?" "Is there anyone we know that could use some extra caring right now?"
• Brainstorm ways your family can get involved in the community. Send cards to residents of a local nursing home. Donate food, clothing or toys to those in need. Place inspiring quotes around the neighborhood for others to see.
• Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Sometimes this can be challenging for busy families, but make an effort to establish these habits in your home. By developing children who care about the environment, you are helping the future of the globe.
• Emphasize social skills like saying please, thank you, sharing with siblings and recognizing when others may be having a difficult day.
• Smile
