This is a sponsored post on behalf of Tacky Box Campaign for Kindness and voiceBoks.com. I was provided with the following product for review. All opinions are 100% my own regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Our children are being exposed to tacky language and behavior, no matter how much we as parents want to shelter them. One of the biggest challenges as parents we face is teaching in a way children can understand how to behave and respond when such language and behavior happens around them.
Tacky Box was started by a mom, Chris Phelps who was shocked one day when her kindergartener nonchalantly used her first four letter word. Chris came up with Tacky Box concept that equips children with the skills to distinguish between what’s appropriate and inappropriate and motivates them to proactively choose how to respond.Inspiring kindness rather than tackiness, Tacky Box Set arms parents with everything they need to help their child navigate through the day and life of a child. Keeping a kind heart and good manners unscathed.
We are officially on the Campaign for Kindness in our house. Here's how it went down in our house.
First we check out everything that's included in the box
Our Story Book
Authentic Tacky Box
Notepad with Max and Margo on it
A note from the Author
We read the book together and discussed the topic of the story. Then we decorated our box.
I love that there are separate books for boys and girls. Yet the message is the same. Watch your words; they can hurt just as much as your actions. My daughter is older but when she saw the decorated box she asked if she can fill out a paper too---quickly she wrote X at school called me dumb!
The target age group is 3-8 and to get a curriculum to roll out the concept in schools...clearly from what's happened to my daughter IT IS VERY MUCH NEEDED!!
You can get your very own Tacky Box too and join the campaign too!
This is a great campaign! I wish we had these in the Philippines, too.
ReplyDeleteI think a spot for this is needed in every curriculum WORLDWIDE!!
DeleteMy little guys need this! Right now they are in that stage where they say horrible stuff to each other when they are mad :/
ReplyDeletechildren need to learn the power of their words.
DeleteIsn't this great? It's something maybe your granddaughter or grandson can some day see and perhaps we can all pass down to our own some day to remind them of just how important it is to use kind words. I'm so happy to see you get into this program Pamela. We all love this idea!
ReplyDeleteI love how the program is set up!! Definitely something that can be passed down from generation to generation!
DeleteI love how they decorated their Tacky Box.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun-- the box and Max's Magnificent Choice has found a permanent home on on bedtime bookshelf =)
DeleteWhat a great concept! Have to look into it for my kiddos
ReplyDeleteThis is a good way to reinforce why some things are just not nice to say. It's uniquely fun too!
ReplyDeleteI love the box such a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a tacky box.

It is nice to have something that helps children understand what is appropriate and what is not!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds perfect for my boys. I am always teaching them to be kind. Apparently it works somewhat. They are kind to everyone but each other lol.
ReplyDeleteThese Are Great My Kids Will Have A Blast Decorating Them!!
ReplyDeleteAn extremely important lesson to teach your kids is to be kind and loving. But many parents don't take the time to do it. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful ! I agree the program should be in every school!
