Understanding the Word “Be”

The word “be” is spelled B-E. It’s a simple word, but it has a powerful meaning. “Be” is used to describe the qualities or characteristics of a person, action, or thing. It helps us talk about what something is like or what someone wants to become.

Being True to Yourself

One of the most important things to remember is to be who you want to be. This means staying true to yourself and following your dreams. If you have a passion or a goal, like becoming a painter, it’s important to work towards that and be the person you aspire to be.

Conclusion

In summary, the word “be” is small but significant. It helps us express who we are and who we want to become. Remember, it’s important to be true to yourself and follow your dreams, just like wanting to be a painter. Keep this in mind as you learn and grow!

  • Can you think of a time when you were true to yourself? What did you do, and how did it make you feel?
  • What is something you dream of becoming or doing when you grow up? How can you start working towards that dream now?
  • Why do you think it’s important to be yourself, even if others want you to be different? Can you share a story about a time when you were proud to be yourself?
  1. Be a Dream Detective: Ask your child to think about what they want to be when they grow up. Encourage them to draw a picture of themselves in that role. For example, if they want to be a painter, they can draw themselves painting a beautiful picture. Discuss what steps they might take to achieve this dream and how they can “be” that person today by practicing or learning more about it.

  2. Quality Quest: Have your child pick a few qualities they admire in others, such as kindness, bravery, or creativity. Ask them to think of ways they can “be” those qualities in their daily life. For instance, they can “be kind” by helping a friend or “be creative” by making a craft. Encourage them to share their experiences at the end of the day.

  3. Be Yourself Storytime: Read a story together about a character who stays true to themselves. After reading, discuss how the character showed who they wanted to “be.” Ask your child to think of a time when they were true to themselves and share their story. This will help them understand the importance of being authentic and following their dreams.
