Small comments matter.
Sometimes words that sound tiny can feel very big-especially to kids. A quick whisper, a side remark, or a joking comment can quietly lift someone up... or slowly make them feel smaller inside.
In Micro Hints, kids meet Milly the pig, who uses lifting words that help others feel safe, brave, and capable-and Golem the goblin, whose shrinking words cause doubt to grow. Through familiar classroom and playground moments, children learn how language shapes confidence, friendships, and how they see themselves.
This story helps kids:
- Recognize micro hints that lift or shrink
- Understand how small comments add up over time
- Learn what to say when something doesn't feel right
- Practice brave, clear, and fair words
- See how speaking up together makes shrinking words lose their power
Perfect for classrooms, counselors, and families, Micro Hints goes beyond be kind to teach kids how words work-and how to use them with courage and kindness.
