We asked the students at Koo Wee Rup Primary School (P – Yr 6) their thoughts:

• We found out that caring families don’t hit or yell; they do say I love you and help each other think of positive things when they are feeling down.
• When someone asks you over, you have to check with your mum and dad. They won’t let you go if they don’t know them.
• Mum and Dad say; I love you.
• Caring families don’t hit each other, it leads to pain and it’s a disgrace.
• If I am sad, my family helps me think of the positive side.
• Caring families love you so much.
• Family tells you that you are amazing and that they love you so much.
• I thank my mum for being the best mum.
• Motherly love (via text)
• My dog is my friend, she is always happy to see me.
• My dad helps me build a cubby house in the backyard every weekend
• I help my little sister get ready for school
• It’s really important to be caring in your family and friends
• Just be a nice person
• We go to the park together (family)
• Eating dinner together
