The habit kids may copy: please everyone

Glinda is beloved, smiles for the crowds, and goes along with things to stay liked. Young children may copy that at school: laughing along, even at a mean joke, so nobody's upset.

Try tonight: one rule that's theirs

Pick one rule together that your child keeps even when friends don't. Try: "I don't laugh at mean jokes." Say it once together tonight. In our program, the lesson "My fort" is about the few rules a child keeps no matter what.
