Yesterday our son got in the car at preschool pick-up and informed us—“There are two men who want to be president!” (As if we hadn’t turned on the news in the past year...or 24 hours!) He’s four and we usually don’t talk politics around him. But it’s clear that at preschool or at home, he’s picking up on the basics of the conversation.

And I don’t know about you, but I want to start shifting the conversation, especially with our kids. Politics can be ugly and divisive and it feels like that gap between “us and them” is growing. But our kids are the future and we can do our part to teach them about things like CHARACTER that often feel absent from our world.

The basics of character? Respect. Kindness. Honesty. Courage. Hard work. Optimism. Resilience. Kids can understand these words if we talk about them together and try to model them at home.

Consider choosing one of the 7 words each day this week and spending 5 minutes discussing what it means! It’s a small way we can prepare the next generation to do better.

We love this challenge by to help your kids engage in discussions about democracy over the month of October! Click the post on their IG page for more specifics—but the basic idea is to talk about the word of the day and create a picture around that topic! It’s amazing what kids can understand and absorb. Since they’re our future, let’s get them engaging in healthy discussions! We hope they make this world a better place 🌎

Put all of those broken, forgotten pieces of chalk to good use at the end of this season! 🌈 Our kids love doing a “Chalk Maze”—it’s like if Floor is Lava on and old school Hop Scotch had a baby in your driveway! 😏 Draw a series of lines for kids to walk along carefully, or circles to jump onto like lily pads, or stop signs where they have to pause and do a silly dance, or swirly rainbows that make them spin around 5 times before moving forward to the next part of the maze! It’s so simple, but an easy way to get them moving and creating. Good luck and
