Hope Focus: We Connect
"Hope is a social gift. It happens in our relationships with others, in our connectedness."
~ Chan Hellman
April's hope focus highlights the second of the three universal truths: We Connect. This truth asserts that children succeed when they have meaningful, sustainable relationships with caring adults.
Thanks to technology, our world is very connected. Internet, social media, and electronical devices keep us in the know 24 hours a day about our neighborhood, state, country, and beyond. We are more connected than ever.
But, this is not the type of connection Kids at Hope is talking about. When we connect, we connect with the heart. This can happen through handshakes, hugs, smiles, conversation, and quality time together, all of which tell a child, "You are important. You matter. I see you, and I care about you."
This type of connection can be life-changing. When you feel cared about, you care about yourself. When you care about yourself, you think and feel good things about yourself. When you think and feel good things about yourself, you make choices that are good for you. The more that cycle repeats, the more hope grows and grows.
Focus Reflection: What can you do to grow hope in those you connect with?
