Ways to Spread Kindness
When a friend gets sick or a local family falls on hard times, grown-ups know what to do. They send flowers, bake casseroles, and pass the collection plate at church. Get your kids involved in these projects. Ask them what they'd like to do to help out, or suggest arranging the bouquet, layering noodles in the lasagna pan, or collecting cans of food. And when you drive over to deliver the gifts, take your kids along. They'll find out firsthand how good it feels to brighten someone's day. This is also a great opportunity to talk about being on the other side of the good-karma equation—ask them whether they remember when someone did something nice for them and how it made them feel.
Career Awareness
Elementary school is not too early to start teaching your child about career awareness. It is important for your child to become aware of how his or her schooling is connected to a successful future. While in elementary school, you can help your child:
• Discover the variety of jobs available to him or her;
• Connect what he or she is learning in school to real-world situations;
• Imagine himself or herself in an occupation; and
• Develop work-readiness skills such as working and playing with others, making decisions, solving problems and being a leader.
