The Compliment
Someone says something nice and you don't know what to do with it
Receiving a compliment well is harder than giving one. It takes practice too.
For children ages 5 to 11 who are learning how to receive a compliment — not to deflect it, not to let it go to their head, but to take it in and respond honestly.
The Name It First Experience
Someone says something nice about you. Your drawing, your idea, your kindness. And you do not know what to do with it. In The Compliment, you navigate the specific moment when someone sees something good in you and you have to decide what to do with being seen. Each path leads somewhere different. You leave with your Compliment Agreement — what was said, what you did, and what you will try next time. The output is not a lesson in manners. It is a record of what you are learning about yourself.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What is the best compliment someone ever gave you — and how did it make you feel?
- What would YOU do — say thank you and mean it, look away, or give one back?
- What do you think the kid in the story is feeling when someone gives them a compliment — or when they have to give one to someone else?
- What makes a compliment feel real — and what makes it feel like it doesn't quite count?
