Taking a Step Back

Welcome To Nana's set aside our regular post this week to acknowledge our journey through the difficult times that surround us. The pre-planned post can wait.

I am seeking to process and ponder the issues and they are- just. so. big. Social injustice is a real issue and it is important to listen and learn ourselves, as well as teach our children that all people are to be treated kindly and with respect, regardless of their color.

Connecting with Kids in Difficult Times

How are the littles in our lives viewing these big issues? Are they afraid? Do they wonder what they can do?

How do we connect with the grands we love during this time of conflict and challenge?

I would like to offer a couple resources you may use to open or keep open the connection with your littles.

Free Printable Kindness Coloring Page

Firstly is a Free Kindness Coloring Page for them (and for you).

“Be KIND and compassionate to one another” is the message of this free printable coloring sheet at Welcome To Nanas. Click this link to print off the free kindness coloring sheet. Don't forget to print one for yourself too.

It sounds so simplistic, but this coloring sheet is my peaceful protest poster. Please, be kind and compassionate to one another.

Gentle connecting time

I hope that you can have some gentle connecting time while you color with your grands. Be present with them and listen to their concerns. 

Who do you know who may enjoy receiving your completed coloring page as a gift along with a visit and perhaps some cookies?

List of Children's Books on Kindness

Secondly, perhaps you would like a good book to read with the grands. It may help you both feel connected and more at peace in the moment as well.

Check out some of these books and enjoy their stories of kindness and compassion for others.

If you live at a distance from your grands perhaps you could read a book to them over Zoom or Messenger.

Here are a few titles with great reviews.

Skills for creating gratitude, compassion, and beauty in daily life."

Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller

I Walk with Vanessa by Keascoet

I Walk with Vanessa: A Story About a Simple Act of Kindness by Keascoet. A picture book. "Inspired by real events,  I Walk with Vanessa explores the feelings of helplessness and anger that arise in the wake of seeing a classmate treated badly. It shows how a single act of kindness can lead to an entire community joining in to help"

Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson

Each Kindness (Jane Addams Award Book (Awards)) by Jacqueline Woodson, E. B. Lewis illustrator. "Chloe and her friends won't play with the new girl, Maya. Every time Maya tries to join Chloe and her friends, they reject her. Eventually Maya stops coming to school. When Chloe's teacher gives a lesson about how even small acts of kindness can change the world, Chloe is stung by the lost opportunity for friendship. She thinks about how much better it could have been if she'd shown a little kindness toward Maya."

Remember-

“No act of kindness -however small- is ever wasted” (Aesop).
