Being Big is about being Big-Hearted. It's about having a Big Spirit. Being Big is something we should all do more often.
It only takes a little to BE BIG.
Clifford's BIG Ideas (Share, Help Others, Be Kind, Be Responsible, Play Fair, Be a Good Friend, Believe in Yourself, Respect Others, Work Together and Be Truthful) were borne out of the curriculum developed for the award-winning animated television series - which airs on PBS KIDS. The goal of BIG Ideas is to support children's growing understanding that the actions they choose make a difference to themselves and others. The BIG Idea present value-based content that engage children in important life lessons.
  Children like to feel good about themselves. They learn about their own needs and how they feel about themselves by the way others treat them. Learning to relate positively to other children and adults early in life makes for healthier self-esteem. The opportunity for social growth within group activities or shared learning experiences is vital for promoting good social and emotional growth. Reinforcing acceptable behavior in situations where a child has to give or take to get along with someone else is great experience for the challenges that all children face as they grow.
