Take a look at this Entertainment Holiday Pack. This resource has family movie/tv/podcast suggestions that will allow your child to witness stories of perseverance, personal growth, kindness, compassion, and friendship.

We encourage you to snuggle up next to your child and enjoy these growth mindset tales and how these will offer our children an engaging way to learn about important principles.
Happy Holidays!
