How To Be Good
Being good is fun. When you are good you get to play with
toys. You can go outside with
mommy and
daddy. Being good is very easy to do! Being good is like picking up a
mess. All you have to do is throw your mean bad
mood into the garbage and keep your good happy mood in your mind. Once you have your good mood in your mind it will stay there forever. Being good mean asking nicely instead of whining or yelling. Being good
means listening to mommy and daddy and doing what they say. Being good means that you cannot hit or bite. Sometimes we are not good. When we are not good our toys will get taken away and we have time-out. I don’t like not having my toys…do you? I try really hard to be good. My mommy and daddy are happy and proud. I can play games and even color pictures! I get special treats when I am good. Being good is easy. It is like picking up a mess. (Parent: repeat mess explanation at end of reading) I listen to my mommy and my daddy. I pick up my toys and go to bed each night. I brush my teeth and act real nice! I know that if I can be good you can be good too!
Dear Parents:
So often it seems that we see only the tantrums and forget just how naive and vulnerable a child really is. We tend to forget that a toddler has not yet developed the comprehension or understanding that we as parents possess. We need to nurture our children’s minds. We need to teach our children How To Be Good.
