2023 CWW Lunch May 4: A Girl With A Cape - Creating Action with Positive Encouragement with author Amy Logan

Topic: Rock the Cape! Creating Action with Positive Encouragement to help Create A Positive Environment

Summary:
When we teach people to use kindness when they speak, and when we encourage kids by focusing on the positive things they do and say, we raise a generation of confident kids that feel good about themselves, and kids then learn to treat people the exact same way.  When this happens, it helps eliminate bullies.  Essentially, with encouragement, we are creating action in people to create a positive environment.
