✅ A bedtime whisper turned into a family cheer...

Hello parents & teachers,

Before we talk about bravery or responsibility...

Let’s start with something small but powerful:

Let’s speak with courage. 🗣

Because when kids say strong words out loud, they become those words.

😂 Parent Joke of the Week

Q: What did the parent say after stepping on a LEGO?
A: “I’m fine... just emotionally shattered.”

If you’ve been there, you’ve earned this laugh. And probably a foot massage too.

Now let’s use that energy to build our kids up with this week’s mission.

🗣 Week 4 Mission: The Family Cheer Challenge

One of my students, Ava, used to speak so softly I could barely hear her.

She was smart. Kind. But afraid to be wrong. Afraid to stand out.

So I gave her a mission: Create a family cheer and lead it for one week.

She giggled, then took it seriously. She and her little brother made one up:

“We are strong! We are kind! We do our best every time!”

They said it before bed, arms raised high.

By the end of the week, Ava stood tall in class… and led the cheer out loud. Smiling.

That’s the power of spoken courage.

🧾 How to Use This Week’s Mission

For Parents:
Create a simple, fun “Family Cheer.” Just one or two lines.
Say it before school, after dinner, or before bed—every day this week.

For Teachers:
Let your class write a short cheer together.
Use it to start the day or before challenging activities.

💭 Reflection from Master Hong

“Confidence begins when kids speak strong words out loud.”

Ask your kids or students:

• What kind of cheer would give you courage?

• What words help you feel proud and brave?

  💛 Enjoyed this?
  Pass it on to one parent or teacher who’s doing their best—just like you.

🔜 Coming Next Week...
A small lesson in responsibility—and how one child found pride by taking charge of something simple.

Until then, keep cheering each other on.

💛
