Help Is On The Way!

Children are drawn to people who make the world a better place — from the Pups of the PAW Patrol to Butterbean. 

Pretend play  is a great way for children to practice helping friends and making the world a better place, too.

Parent/Caregiver Tip: It takes time for children to develop empathy. Modeling empathetic feelings and behavior toward your child AND toward others helps them learn how to be empathetic themselves. Talk openly about feelings (theirs, yours, and others’ feelings, too), using clear, specific language, and respond with kindness and care.
