As long as there are children living in poverty and facing inequity, every day is Red Nose Day
Child poverty has long been a crisis, but right now it is nothing short of an emergency. A gift of any size can protect children facing poverty from the ripple effects of COVID-19.
We need your support to help give children living in the most vulnerable communities across the U.S. and around the world a chance at a better life and a brighter future.
As long as there are children living in poverty and facing inequity, every day is Red Nose Day
Even when the unpredictable happens, like the crisis of COVID-19, your ongoing support helps give children living in the most vulnerable communities across the U.S. and around the world a chance at a better life and a brighter future.
A monthly gift goes even further, because giving a little each month adds up to big change.
When you give monthly, you’ll also become a member of The Sandbox, Red Nose Day’s community of monthly givers.
Raising Kind and Caring Kids
With remote and hybrid learning becoming the new norm, parents are more involved than ever in supporting not only their children’s learning but their social and emotional growth and wellbeing too. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is often part of the school curriculum, but parents can foster the development of social-emotional skills such as empathy at home, too.
Our easy at-home activities and lessons, developed in collaboration with Scholastic, will help busy parents bring empathy and kindness into the home in a fun and engaging way. They support the development of core skills like reading and writing, too. Looking for more guidance on how to raise empathetic and caring kids? We’ve compiled some of our favorite resources from across the web.
More on Empathy
Empathy is the ability to take the perspective of others, including those from diverse backgrounds and cultures. It’s the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and recognize and respond to what another person is feeling and experiencing.
Research has shown that empathy is essential to building healthy and happy relationships and doing well at school. Better yet, being empathetic leads to helpful and prosocial behaviors, and strengthens community.
Building empathy together as a family and participating in actions that give back, can help children recognize their power to make a difference and set them up for a lifetime of caring and giving.
Activities for Families from Red Nose Day
These free, remote-learning ready activities and lessons will help broaden your child’s social awareness, foster empathy-building, and strengthen reading and writing skills.
Celebrate Diversity
Talking about racial identity and bias with children means acknowledging what children already know: people are different, and the world is not colorblind.
Conversations about race and identity can be difficult, but these resources offer children a way to explore their identities and learn to understand, respect, and celebrate differences while broadening social awareness.
