The Echo Effect is the second book in this great series for children and young people. This one is all about respect and how we can show it to ourselves, others, the world around us, those who lead us, those who aren't respectful back and, of course, to God.
Using the image of an echo, the book explores the power we have to choose to honour and lift up those around us - 'What you send out comes back' are the first words in the book! It's an empowering read that will inspire and encourage children and young people to consider the effects of their words and actions.
It's so important for children and young people to know that they are significant and that how they think, feel, live can have a big impact! Rather than living in reaction, thinking small or less of themselves, this book presents a different way to be present in the world.
Each short chapter starts with a relevant situation in a young person's life and the choices they have in that moment to grow, learn and be the change that's needed. There are real life accounts of people, like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr, plus fun science facts, thought provoking questions and practical ideas.
A fun read. Great for inspiring for 8-13's.
Respect isn't just about having good manners. It's about how you see yourself, how you treat others and how you respond to world around you. Every action, every word, every choice - it all sends out a signal. What kind of echo will you create?
