Say Hello: Even young children can understand the concept of Hello Ask how it feels when someone takes the time to say hello to them (sometimes adults tend to ignore children) .. Explain the concept of the World Day Hello and go on a mission to say hello to at least 10 people - for an extra challenge, and say hello, share the concept of the World Day hello to those you receive.
There are people in your life with different origins of yours? If your neighbor is Turkey, you can greet them with "Merhaba," Hello in Turkish. This is a great way to introduce your child to different languages and foster a spirit of communication and global understanding instead of conflict.
