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's behavior reflects their self-esteem. As children interact and grow socially, their experiences with others shape the way they value the idea of respect. Through positive role models and opportunities to work and play within group settings, children learn the meaning of respect and how it affects them personally. This is an important step in growing up! Having respect for oneself as well as the feelings of others, in addition to respecting individual differences and personal space, will help a child experience life with greater joy and success.
