You idea of the Coping Packet for kids is very smart.
Your insights show that education is love.
Our sages say (Avot 1:12), “Love your fellow human beings and bring them close to the Creator.” The way to bring others closer to the Creator is with love. Since our children are also “fellow human beings”, the only way to bring them close to the Creator is with love.
A child who is loved is a child that will grow in self-confidence. He loves himself and believes in himself, for these are the traits that become the basis of good character. Since his soul is healthy and happy, he has the power to give to others, to understand others and to yield to them. A person without these capabilities that were attained by virtue of parental love won’t act with courtesy or consideration towards other people. As such, parental love is the key to a child’s success in every area of life, his entire life long.
This is probably an excellent idea for all of us, regardless of age.
