If your child came home talking about “NED” and you’re wondering what it’s all about, you’re not alone! NED isn’t just a name—it’s a message, a mindset, and a movement that’s helping kids across the world become their best selves.
🌟 Meet NED
NED stands for:
- Never give up
- Encourage others
- Do your best
These three simple ideas form the heart of The NED Shows, a character education program that visits schools to inspire and empower students. Through engaging assemblies, storytelling, and even yo-yo tricks, NED helps children understand the importance of perseverance, kindness, and effort.
🎯 Why It Matters
In a world full of distractions and challenges, NED gives kids a positive framework to:
- Build resilience when things get tough
- Show empathy and support to their peers
- Take pride in doing their best work
These aren’t just school skills—they’re life skills.
🧠 What Happens at a NED Show?
During a NED assembly, students meet a performer who shares NED’s message through:
- Interactive storytelling
- Humor and fun
- Yo-yo demonstrations (yes, really!)
It’s high-energy, memorable, and leaves a lasting impression. Many schools also offer NED-themed yo-yos afterward, which help reinforce the message through play and practice.
💬 How You Can Support at Home
You can help reinforce NED’s message by:
- Asking your child how they showed NED today
