Today’s Parenting Tip:

Decide:     You can have fun with your kids.

Practice:   Today, plan a Halloween celebration for adults and children together.

Plan to go trick or treating with your kids.

Or, plan a neighborhood tailgating party in a nearby parking lot complete with costumes and treats.

Or, plan whatever type of fall celebration works for your family.

Involve the kids in the planning. Be careful to not make it be “too much.” Remember it doesn’t have to be perfect.

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.)
