Healing Corner Day 7: COURAGE

Written By Amanda

Healing Corner is all about emotional well-being. Inspired by The Little Book of Joy: 365 Ways to Celebrate Every Day by Joanne Ruelos Diaz, we’re doing a week-long series exploring a new “healing word” each day. Do your kids have the words to express how they feel? It’s okay to ask what a word means. It’s great to look up kid-friendly definitions. Word learning isn’t a one time thing, but multiple exposures are needed.

Courage

This video demonstrates visiting kids.wordsmyth.com to find a kid-friendly definition of the word COURAGE.
