    DAY TWENTY TWO - The Daily Santa Podcast - Making Mistakes, Selfie on the street, famous mistakes, Santa's Nice List and more

    DAY TWENTY TWO - Making Mistakes, Selfie on the street, famous mistakes, Santa's Nice List and more Mistakes are not fun So, how can we help kids embrace mistakes? Mistakes can teach you so much, We can improve or what we shouldn’t do again. Life is full of mistakes and learning from them When we were learning to walk, we fell down many times. It took time, but now we don’t even think of it now Mistakes happen every day, to everyone! So what do we do, when we make a mistake? Here are 3 things that you can do when you make a mistake 1. We can ask for help. When something feels difficult, we can always ask for help. Asking doesn’t mean we have failed - we just haven’t learned yet Back to learning to walk, we need to hold someone’s hand as we learn 2. We can take a break. Sometimes we get frustrated when we make a mistake How about this as a guide.. “Make a mistake?  Take a break!” That’s easy to remember! 3. Ask an adult to tell you their mistakes Our parents and adults that love us also make mistakes Sometimes BIG mistakes Ask them about their mistakes - I bet they have a few they can share with you! See, you are not alone Remember, mistakes are our best teachers mistakes can be the greatest gift From simple mistakes like spilling milk to large ones mistakes can be some of the best lessons that we will ever learn. ___ https://dailysantapodcast.com/

    DAY TWENTY ONE - The Daily Santa Podcast - Be Friendly, Happy Kwanzaa, A Special Press Conference, and more

    DAY TWENTY ONE - Be Friendly, Happy Kwanzaa, A Special Press Conference, and more Welcome back to Day 21 - we are happy  to have you back again! Big news announcement today on the show, we talk about the special Kwanzaa Celebrations and we look at being a friend to others Welcome to the Daily Santa Podcast - this is Day 21 This is the podcast where together, we countdown to Christmas one episode at a time For the latest on the show or to find out more about us, Head over to our website Today we are going to be talking about: Being a Friend One of the best gifts that you can give someone this year is friendship - whether you are an adult or a not, being a friend to someone could make their life better and yours as well Here are 5 friendship keys. 1. Be open, kind and understanding. Always be open to being someone’s friend Even if someone is different than you - you can still be their friend 2. Be inclusive. “Don’t let anyone sit alone!” “When I taught little kids, we had a buddy bench where you could sit if you were looking for a buddy on the playground,” she says. “Just that tool alone let us really talk about what it means to be friendly with someone.” 3. ‘Be there’ for your friends. True friends depend on each other. They have each other’s backs. They are a source of comfort to one another. Reminding them that you want to be there, in the good and bad times, to support them (and) showing them you care means so much.” 4. Stand up for your friends. One of the bravest — and kindest — things a kid can do is to stand up for a friend. And although it’s an important part of friendship, sometimes it can be a bit scary to do if a bully is involved. 5. Understand that friendships aren’t always perfect. We all do better when we have a friend in our life - is there someone that you can be a friend to? that new friend needs you , just as much as you might need them! ___ https://dailysantapodcast.com/

    DAY TWENTY - The Daily Santa Podcast - Give First, Happy Hanukkah, Merry GIVE-mas, Santa news and more

    DAY TWENTY - Give First, Happy Hanukkah, Merry GIVE-mas, Santa news and more Welcome to the podcast!  We are on Day 20 - this is going by really fast! Our topic today covers Giving to Others Today we look at giving to others being a giving person is very special Christmas can be a time of great excitement and mystery We can't wait to see the gifts piled around the tree We enjoy giving and receiving gifts but what if there was a gift that did not come wrapped in a box with shiny christmas wrapping paper, no bow, and it didn't rattle around in the box when yo shook it? Giving first before getting isn’t always easy us to understand when we are young. When we give, we focus on others and today we are going to look at 4 ways that we can continue to be generous throughout the year. 1. The Joy of Giving can you be just as happy giving a gift this year as you are receiving one? when we find joy in giving we unlock joy in our lives giving to others is not just a one day christmas event - it can be everyday 2. Share your Talents Giving doesn't always require money, a store or a purchase - you can give something that nobody else can give - you are unique and special. what is one thing you are awesome at doing - play the piano, write a poem?  Be creative - because giving does not always cost money 3. Generous with Time We love to do, what we love to do when we put away the things that we want to do - like our phones, tablets and gaming - we create time for others time is valuable because they don't make more of it who can you give more of your time to? 4. Generous with Kindness Be generous and kind with your words your words can make people strong or weak give back to others by building them up and making others around you important Let's give our best this year, even if it does not come from a store ___ https://dailysantapodcast.com/

    DAY NINETEEN - The Daily Santa Podcast - Be Helpful, Selfie shares a Santa Secret, Listener messages, News and much more

    DAY NINETEEN - Be Helpful, Selfie shares a Santa Secret, Listener messages, News and more Selfie shares the secret to how Santa's sleigh is powered!  We get some listener messages today, Big news out of the North Pole and Santa is caught napping! We learn about being helpful today are you a helpful person? Do you help others?  Helping provides them the opportunity to grow up to be a better person. when we help others we build up our character. Christmas is often associated with giving and sharing. There is nothing more meaningful and fulfilling then to be generous to those in need especially this time of the year. This is why Christmas is also the best time to help others. Here are five reasons why helping others will actually benefit everyone: 1. Helping others will help us to see life differently. Helping others will allow them us to see the world beyond our daily life. Being helpful will help to teach us to be thankful for what we do have and to be happy in the simple things. This Christmas, help them realize this by donating their old toys to someone that does not have what we have. 2. Helping others will teach us about sharing Sharing their time, talent and treasures will help them realize that Christmas is not about how much they will receive but how much they can give. That whatever material or financial “excesses” we may have in life will have more meaning when shared with others in need. 3. Helping others makes us aware of our community Make it a Christmas tradition to do random acts of kindness such as giving a bottle of water to a tired security guard in a mall or sending a greeting card to a neighbor or friend who may be alone this season. 4. Helping others creates more compassion and humility. we need to learn to care. Being exposed to helping others will help us to be humble instead of thinking too highly of ourselves. We will also learn to be more sensitive to the needs of others rather than being too pre-occupied with what will only benefit them. Make a list together as a family of the people they wish to help and how they think they can help them. 5. Helping others will lead to real happiness. Helping others creates happiness for all. Knowing that we have made another person happy will allow everyone to experience real joy in their hearts. Try this! Try being a “secret Santa” to one person that you wish to make happy. Start with someone in your family, or a neighbor, or even a playmate. you are never too young or too old to be helpful Santa is watching, let's be helpful today! Selfie, how do you help others? Santa how can we help at home?  What can we do? Thanks everyone - let's be super helpful today! ___ https://dailysantapodcast.com/

    DAY EIGHTEEN - The Daily Santa Podcast - Forgive Others, A Post Turtle, Selfie's Story , North Pole news and more

    DAY EIGHTEEN - Forgive Others, A Post Turtle, Selfie's Story , North Pole news and more Welcome back to Day 18!  Today we look at forgiveness - why it is important for all of us to forgive others! Selfie shares a story about a carrot and a lie We find out what a Post Turtle is and we look at our topic of forgiveness by talking about... 10 Ways to to Forgive others 1. Forgiveness with no conditions forgive regardless of the other person’s response - forgiving someone for what they have done or said is more for us than for them really - we stop letting what they have done hurt us when we forgive and let it go 2. It’s Not About Being Right When you forgive someone, it should never be about being right. 3 No rules By placing rules on our forgiveness, we are not truly forgiving. “If you make my bed for the next week I will forgive you.” That’s not forgiveness. Forgiveness is given without rules or conditions. 4. It might take time forgiveness can't be forced. when it forced, we really don’t mean it, nothing gets solved. Give it time. 5. there are always 2 sides to forgiveness We really only see our side of an issue. We need to be able to see things from the other side. Our side is only part of the story. Forgiving is much easier when we know the whole story and not just half of it. 6. Don’t hide forgiveness when we don't forgive, it can lead to all sorts of future problems. we start to not like people that we haven't forgiven we see someone that we haven't forgiven and we turn and walk the other way - we don't even want to see them, or talk to them, ever again. this can be painful for you and the other person Forgiveness is like a bridge that connects two people that have been separated 7. The Inside Eventually Comes Pouring Out when we don't forgive people it can change us and make us not a fun person to be around - we become part of the problem over time 8. Teach Them To Serve Giving forgiveness helps us to be humble and not proud. be mindful of the needs of others. 9. The Golden Rule “Treat others as we wish to be treated ourselves.” what if we made a mistake and dis something wrong - how would we want the other person to treat us?  Would we want their forgiveness if we made the mistake? however we want to be treated, we need to treat people in the same way 10. forgiveness doesn't Keeping score we all want to be forgiven. Then tell them to do likewise. Forgiveness is not like sports In sports we keep score of the points - we put the score up on the board so that all can see Some people keep score of all the bad things that other people have done and do not forgive and let it go! When we throw away the bad thing that happened, it means we don’t remind the person again that they did it. It means we start over. Our homework today - to think of one person that we need to forgive and then tell them that we forgive them forgiveness is a great way to stay on Santa's nice list. ___ https://dailysantapodcast.com/
