Fall Family Fun

It’s a great time of year to enjoy cooler temperatures, crunchy leaves and fun fall activities and crafts! If you celebrate Thanksgiving, it may or may not look a little different this year; either way, you can take this time to talk to your kids about gratitude and kindness. Here are a few resources to get your little ones ready for the season:

• Finding Gratitude During Difficult Times
• Practicing Gratitude and Honoring the Real Story
• Picture Books to Help You Say Thanks
• Table Manners with Kids
• 5 Tips to Help your Kids Be Kind
• Why Giving is Good for the Soul
