Today’s Parenting Tip:

Decide:   Birthdays are worth remembering.

Practice: Do an art project with your child today – make a calendar with the birthdays of relatives and friends that are important to your child.

Use the calendar to send cards. You can have your child make a card on the birthdays as they come up.

Or, if the child is old enough, you could teach him how to send e-cards or notes.

Today’s Parenting Tip was inspired by our featured picture book, CLEVER JACK TAKES THE CAKE.  Read the book to a child in your life each day as a reminder of what you are deciding and practicing that day.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on the Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
