TIPS FOR CAREGIVERS

Leadership can be an intimidating and abstract concept. Finding ways to
encourage small, everyday examples of leadership can help instill the traits
of a good leader in young readers. It is important to know that there are
many leadership traits, forms of leadership, and types of leaders. By helping
young people identify all of the possibilities, you can help them find which
types of leaders they want to be. Learning how to demonstrate the traits
of a leader is a form of social and emotional learning (SEL).
