Note to Adults: |
||
| This big idea gives you a chance to explore your family's heritage,
background, and structure. But it also gives you an opportunity to
express to one another what makes you feel good and what makes you feel
bad--all of you.
A first-grade boy may need help in his understanding of other family members, especially the feelings of every one in the family including himself. A first-grader can be somewhat oversensitive in his feelings--he needs to know that others have feelings and that feelings are OK. |
||
