Speaking up in class · ages 4–8
The Quiet Hand, starring your child.
Your child always knows the answer. Their hand just never goes up. When the teacher asks about the moon, your child decides today the words are coming out, even if they come out small.
For the child who knows the answer and can't get it out.

What your child takes away
Your voice counts even when it comes out small. Raising a hand halfway is still raising it.
A note for parents
