Getting a Compliment
Someone says something nice to me. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Sometimes someone says something nice to me. That is called a compliment.
2. A compliment might make me feel warm. It might make me feel shy. It might feel confusing. All of those are okay.
3. The easiest answer is "thank you." That is a complete answer.
4. My friend says they like my project.
5. I do not have to give a compliment back every time. "Thank you" by itself is enough.
6. The compliment moment ends fast, but I can keep the good feeling. Someone noticed something good about me — and it was true.
