Increase kids’ happiness, language skills, and independence, by supporting them to get out and about and to help others!

Even when we’re busy, tired, cash-strapped, and clinging on desperately for end-of-year breaks, we can help our kids socially by encouraging them to:

  • do small acts of kindness for others a few times a week, like simple chores; and
  • get out of the house to hang out (visit, play games, tell stories, bike-ride, walk) with family and friends.

How does this help and how do we do it?

Check out the link for information and resources to help kids do more things for themselves.
