INTRODUCTION
Hey Kids! Did you know that you learn more from each other and from your parents and grandparents than you learn from books, the TV or your smart phone? Yes, most of your talking skills come from those around you. There are words and talking skills that are very important to learn. For example, some words are important to learn as they help you express your feelings, share your thinking on different topics, and help you form friendships. Knowing some key words and learning how to talk, will help you solve conflicts, and make decisions. Hey, words matter.
This book is divided into five parts. I want to share with you some of the key words and ideas that I think are important as you grow up. I also want to share with you several key ideas, attitudes, and good ways to act. You will do well by learning the importance of these words, ideas, values and attitudes and apply them in your daily life.
