{{GIVEAWAY}} Positively Proud is Positively Perfect

As a middle school teacher, the students that were the easiest to teach were those that had parents that not only showed interest in what their children were learning and doing, but also who were "present" in their child's life. My "favorite" quote from a parent is "How should I know what she is doing? You see her more than I do!" How sad, right?

Kids, regardless of age, want to know their parents are thinking about them. If they tell you otherwise, ignore them. That is why I absolutely love the idea behind Positively Proud.

"Positively Proud is a company that’s mission is to Make Kids Feel Special.  Our mission is achieved through careful selection of our products that all have positive messages imbedded in the product itself. We provide ways to communicate to your children that they are special and loved unconditionally.

Positively Proud is comprised of two departments.  The first is U R Special Gifts which allow parents to send special gifts directly to their children.  We take the worry off your hands and assure you that a special one of a kind gift will arrive that will Make Your Child Feel Special. Our gifts inspire and show appreciation for achievements, bravery, leadership, positive attitudes, and effort.   The second department, Fun Ways to Make a Kids Day provides parents with tools that they can use directly with their children, to connect on a daily basis."

I received the following items:

Lunch Mail: “I believe In You” theme  $4.95

Lunch Box Letters Book  $8.95

Positively Proud Packet  $14.95

Jake just started preschool and I've been able to include little notes from Positively Proud in his lunch to let him know that I am thinking of him (and will be returning to pick him up regardless of what I might really want to do). I've also got a small file of Rewards, Stickers, Incentive Charts, Tokens and more so that I can keep things going here at home to help encourage good behavior. I can use all the help I can get these days that is for sure.
