A heartfelt episode for girls learning how small choices shape big growth.

Parent Conversation Guide

Why This Episode Matters:
This story creates a gentle space to explore some big lessons: learning to obey even when we don’t feel like it, taking responsibility for our own routines, and recognising the value of kindness when things go wrong.

Things to Talk About:

• Responsibility: What are some jobs your child is capable of doing on their own each morning?
• Obedience: What helps them stop and listen, even when they’re in the middle of something fun?
• Gratitude: Has someone ever helped them when they forgot something or made a mistake? How did that feel?
  
  

Try Saying This:

• “Sometimes it’s hard to stop playing when you're in the middle of something, but learning to pause and take responsibility helps you grow.”
• “It’s okay to forget sometimes — the important part is what you do next.”
• “That was kind of your friend. How could we pass that kindness on to someone else?”
  
  

Model It:
Let your child hear you narrate your own growth:

• “I really wanted to keep reading, but I knew I needed to finish getting ready first.”
• “Oops, I forgot something — I’ll make a checklist next time.”
  
  

Encourage Ownership:
Work together to create a simple morning routine your child can do independently. Include fun at the end of the list (like LEGO!) to help build natural motivation and confidence.
