Happy National Children's Day! 💙
Rissy No Kissies celebrates an important message every child deserves to hear: it's okay to have personal boundaries, and it's important to respect the boundaries of others.

Go outside this June and look for “animal clues”, paths in grass, bird calls, insects, or shadows in trees. Draw what you think is happening just out of sight, like the animals slipping through the hedge in the story.

After reading The Reindeer Remainders, use a hula hoop or taped circle to show “making room”:
1️⃣ Squeeze: small group stands inside the circle
2️⃣ Remainder: one student stands outside
3️⃣ Shift: ask how to make space, then move to include them

It’s a lyrical invitation for children (and grown-ups!) to slow down and notice the secret paths and "in-between" spaces in nature. #WhereTheDeerSlipThrough #NatureBooks #KidLit #OutdoorLearning #PictureBooks

Showing affection doesn't have to be one-size-fits-all. Whether it’s a high-five, a secret handshake, or a cozy "wing-hug," the best way to show love is by honoring each other’s boundaries. How does your family show love in your own unique way?
