Amid a crush of heavy news from around the world, who couldn’t use some sage advice right now?
Call a new hotline, and you’ll get just that — encouraging words from a resilient group of kindergartners.
Kids’ voices will prompt you with a menu of options:
If you’re feeling mad, frustrated or nervous, press 1. If you need words of encouragement and life advice, press 2. If you need a pep talk from kindergartners, press 3. If you need to hear kids laughing with delight, press 4. For encouragement in Spanish, press 5.
Pressing 3 leads to a chorus of kids sounding off a series of uplifting mantras:
“Be grateful for yourself,” offers one student.
“If you’re feeling up high and unbalanced, think of groundhogs,” another chimes in.
“Bro, you’re looking great.”
