Micro Hints: How Small Comments Can Shrink Someone

By: Cat, Advo

Small comments matter.

Sometimes words that sound tiny can feel very big-especially to kids. A quick whisper, a side remark, or a "joking" comment can quietly lift someone up... or slowly make them feel smaller inside.

In Micro Hints, kids meet Milly the pig, who uses lifting words that help others feel safe, brave, and capable-and Golem the goblin, whose shrinking words cause doubt to grow. Through familiar classroom and playground moments, children learn how language shapes confidence, friendships, and how they see themselves.

This story helps kids:

Recognize "micro hints" that lift or shrinkUnderstand how small comments add up over timeLearn what to say when something doesn't feel rightPractice brave, clear, and fair wordsSee how speaking up together makes shrinking words lose their power

Perfect for classrooms, counselors, and families, Micro Hints goes beyond "be kind" to teach kids how words work-and how to use them with courage and kindness.
