We all need a little encouragement from time to time, and kids are no different. They need someone to believe in them. They need someone who can see the best in them. And, they need someone who can see what they can become and encourage them to get there.

In this Ted Talk, Rita Pierson gives a few reasons why every kid needs a champion. We think it’s worth a listen.

So, what do you think? What are some ways you can champion your children?

• Once you’ve made your list, pick one way per child and get to work!
