December Life Skill for the Month- “CARING”
Caring is... thinking about the concerns, cares, and feelings of others.
What Caring looks like:
-Make community service a family routine. Once a month volunteer to help others.
-You may suggest your child "adopt" an elderly person or needy person. The child can mow their lawn or clean their yard.
- -Always remember - we become caring people by doing caring things!
Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help your child this year!
