📄 Qianziwen — One‑Page Summary

Kids’ Guide — How to Read

• Look at the Chinese line and try the pinyin slowly.
• Listen to the meaning in simple English.
• Spot one picture in your mind (sky, river, seasons, heroes…).
• Do one thing from the Parent Note (moon‑phase journal, kindness action, “soar time”).
• Ask one question: “What does this look like in my life?”

Tip Two lines a day is plenty — small steps make big learning.

Parents’ Guide — How to Lead

• Keep it short. 5–10 minutes wins consistency.

• Model virtues. Fair sharing, careful words, quiet starts, finishing well.
• Celebrate small wins. Record “family wins” on the fridge.
