Summer Challenge #5: Complete a Random Act of Kindness

This week the summer challenge is to encourage and/or teach your child how to complete a random act of kindness.

Children learn by observing adults, even when those adults aren’t intentionally trying to teach them anything. Have you seen your child pretend to talk on the phone, pretend to do their makeup, or pretend to wash dishes in the play kitchen? I have many times and I am always shocked by my daughter coming up with these ideas when I haven’t explicitly taught them to her.

Spend this week to encourage yourself and your child to make intentional choices that will spread happiness by being positive and kind. We will be analyzing our experiences this week to find ways to spread kindness. Will you join us in our efforts?

Check-in each week this summer for adventure ideas in your community. My hope is that each and every adventure will be different and exciting. This year I have partnered with businesses in the community to put together an epic summer bucket giveaway at the end of the 10 weeks. The bucket includes ways to Say-n-Play both at home and in Columbus this summer. You will be entered into the drawing for the bucket each time you connect and share your weekly adventure experiences using the hashtag – #saynplaythesummeraway.
