Hi Girls on the Run friends! ๐
Let’s take a moment to talk about something super powerful. Nope, not superhero capes (although those are cool too)… we’re talking about COMPLIMENTS! ๐
Yep, compliments are like sparkly little words of kindness that you can share with others — and they can totally brighten someone’s day like sunshine through the clouds! โ๏ธ
๐ฌ What’s a Compliment?
A compliment is when you say something nice to someone to show you notice something cool, kind, or awesome about them. It's like saying:
“Hey, I see you – and you’re AMAZING.”
Examples of compliments:
-
“I love how you always cheer for your teammates!” ๐
-
“You’re such a great listener.” ๐
-
“Your smile makes me smile!” ๐
-
“That was super brave of you to try something new!” ๐ช

๐ฏ How to Give a Great Compliment
Giving compliments is easy and fun! Here’s how:
