DVUSD Professional Learning Community information
The motto this week is: I don't brag because I am happy with myself.
Bragging can be damaging to both the student doing the bragging and the student hearing the bragging. The student hearing the bragging may internalize it and feel insecure about their own abilities. While the student doing the bragging is unsuccessfully seeking approval, and more likely collecting disdain from other students, rather than admiration.
Consider bringing up this topic at home even if you have not heard your kids brag. By bringing up bragging prior to having any problem with this topic you are simply having a discussion, but bring it up when you need to, and it feels like a lecture to your child and can be harder for kids to hear.
Besides if you bring it up now your child will be ready when they feel the burn of another's brag because they will have the E.Q. skills to sidestep that self-doubt and the empathy to understand that the person bragging is simply searching for approval and not a reflection of your child's talents and abilities.
Confidence is quiet. Insecurities are loud.

For younger kids, here are some picture books that help cover this topic at home:
Well, I Can Top That!, by Julia Cook
I'm the Best, by Lucy Cousins.
The Biggest Brag By The Berenstain Bears, Mike Berenstain
