December is such a great month to talk about giving and finding JOY!  We want to know what giving looks like, WHY we give, WHERE we can give, WHAT or HOW we give.  

As your family  talks about giving, find time to be thankful for what you have and who you have in your life.  It can be in a phone call, a smile, a compliment, a letter, or more.  How can your family participate in giving this December?

How does your family find JOY?  What Do you love to do together?  Plan a family dinner together, play a game together,  Be creative and find what things  your family can you do to find JOY in your family?

We will finish up on Conflict Resolution.  Another tool that your children will learn to use is the Blue Print.  This is a tool that helps us with Conflict Resolution.  How can you use this blue print in your family to strengthen your family?  Below is the Blue print and a video that can help you understand it more.  How can you utilize this as well with your family?

We love the Blue Print. Help your child to follow this Blue Print and practice how to recognize and label their emotion, Understand , Express and Regulate, and then reflect and plan!   How can you use this in your family?
