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.
  The process of learning to become honest and truthful begins early in a child's life. A child's pattern of social growth will most likely mirror his or her own environment. Some of the best examples for a child are simple situations in the home. Communicating with a child about choices, consequences, and showing respect on a regular basis gives the child positive reinforcement about the value of being truthful. By encouraging discussions about honesty and truthfulness, the child becomes more aware that this characteristic is an important part of their individual personality.
