Teddy arrives at the tree house to find his friends sad and upset after someone used unkind words during a game. Teddy sits down and thinks: “Words are like little seeds. They can help things grow, or they can make people feel small.”
One by one, Teddy offers each friend the words they need: kind words that make Bunny feel loved, helpful words that remind Pip how much he adds to their games, and brave words that help Mimi talk about how she feels. When the friend who spoke unkindly says sorry, Teddy thanks him for being brave. Together, the friends make a list of wonderful words to use every day.
Children learn:
- Words can hurt or help, and we get to choose
- How to say sorry, and how to receive an apology kindly
- Everyday words that build others up: Please, Thank you, I’m sorry, You can do it, You matter
Made for parents and teachers who want to talk about how words make us feel.
