ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

Start your kid’s day off by acknowledging something they’ve been trying to accomplish, and encourage them to keep at it—the finish line may be closer than they think.
 

Drive Time

While on the go, ask your kid: "It’s a new year. What is something you want to learn, to try, or to do this year?"

Meal Time

At a meal this week, ask each other: "What are some situations people face when the right choice is a hard one?" Describe different age-appropriate scenarios.
 

Bed Time

Pray for each other: "God, give us wisdom to know what is the right thing to do when we are tempted to do something we know we shouldn’t."
