👨‍👩‍👧 Parent guide

What to say this week.

Why each value matters, the words that help, and one family question. Each value maps to the CASEL social and emotional learning competencies.

Week 1 · Mindset
Self-awarenessResponsible decision-making

Children copy the way adults talk about setbacks. Naming a thought as a thought, not a fact, helps them stay hopeful and keep trying.

✅ Say: “What’s the evidence for that thought?”
🚫 Instead of: “You’re just not good at this.”

Family question: What is one thing you thought you couldn’t do, that you can do now?

Week 2 · Purpose
Self-awarenessResponsible decision-making

A sense of purpose grows from small responsibilities children own, long before they choose a career.

✅ Say: “What’s one thing you’d like to take care of this month?”
🚫 Instead of: “You need to decide what you want to be.”

Family question: What is one responsibility in our home that you could own this month?

Week 3 · Confidence
Self-awarenessSelf-management

Confidence grows from keeping small promises and restarting quickly after a slip, not from never failing.

✅ Say: “Slips happen. What’s your restart plan?”
🚫 Instead of: “You never stick with anything.”

Family question: Tell a story about a time you restarted after breaking a promise to yourself.

Week 4 · Discipline
Self-management

If-then plans and rehearsal make self-control easier, especially in the moments that usually go wrong.

✅ Say: “What could get in the way, and what will you do then?”
🚫 Instead of: “Just try harder.”

Family question: What is one hard moment this week, and what is our if-then plan for it?

Week 5 · Wisdom
Responsible decision-making

Explaining something in your own words shows what you really understand, and checking sources is a life skill in the AI age.

✅ Say: “Can you teach me how that works?”
🚫 Instead of: “Because I said so.”

Family question: Teach us something you learned this week in under two minutes.

Week 6 · Action
Self-managementResponsible decision-making

Finishing small, useful projects builds the habit of starting, improving and following through.

✅ Say: “What’s the smallest step you can finish today?”
🚫 Instead of: “Wait until it’s perfect.”

Family question: What tiny project could our family finish together this weekend?

Week 7 · Growth Circle
Relationship skillsSocial awareness

Children thrive when they know their own strengths and the strengths of the people around them, and feel safe asking for help.

✅ Say: “Who could you learn that from?”
🚫 Instead of: “Do it on your own.”

Family question: Who in our family or neighborhood has a skill you’d love to learn?

Week 8 · Focus
Self-management

Attention and sleep are limited resources. Planning where they go is a skill children can practice.

✅ Say: “What matters most today, and when will you rest?”
🚫 Instead of: “Put that phone down!” (try a family focus plan instead)

Family question: What steals our family’s attention most, and what will we try instead?

Week 9 · Courage
Self-managementRelationship skills

Courage grows through small, safe, rehearsed steps, with a trusted adult nearby.

✅ Say: “What’s one brave, safe step you could try?”
🚫 Instead of: “Don’t be scared.”

Family question: What is one brave step each of us will take this week?

Week 10 · Service
Social awarenessRelationship skills

Helping well starts with listening. Children who design help around real needs learn empathy in action.

✅ Say: “What do they really need? How could we find out?”
🚫 Instead of: “Just give them something.”

Family question: Who could our family help this month, and what do they really need?

Week 11 · Growth
Self-awareness

Looking back at first tries and improvements builds lasting confidence and a habit of reflection.

✅ Say: “Show me how this changed since your first try.”
🚫 Instead of: “Only show the best one.”

Family question: What is the biggest way you’ve grown since we started these values?
