Mn Adult & Teen Challenge’s Post

Do you want to raise kids who stand by their principles? Growing up, my parents instilled in me the importance of honesty, kindness, and hard work. These values have been my compass throughout life. Now, as a parent, I aim to pass these same values onto my children. We regularly have family discussions about what matters most to us and how we can live by our values every day. What core values do you want to pass on to your kids? Let’s discuss how we can nurture these values in our homes. What core values are most important in your family? Share your stories and let's help each other expand our vision!

Every child benefits from social and emotional learning. ThinkGive’s SEL programs inspire youth to positively connect with themselves and others, strengthen their kindness muscle, and build their confidence.

Drop-Hug-Kiss-Go: The majority of human communication is non-verbal. In moments where words fall short or are deemed unnecessary, our actions, convey volumes. The last look, the last hug, the last kiss is a powerful medium of communication. While you drop your child at #preschool or #school or residence gate, take time to #hug, #kiss before leaving (in a hurry); the last hug is a silent promise of reunion. Schools should have especially marked Drop-Hug-Kiss-Go zone.

Family is the first school where children learn the values of respect, love, and understanding. When families grow together, they create bonds that last a lifetime and form the foundation of strong, resilient individuals. 📌 Tip: Involve your children in family decisions, no matter how small. This gives them a sense of belonging and teaches responsibility early on. The stronger the bond, the more empowered our children will feel to face the world with confidence! #impactfultuesday #growingtogether #familymatters

Friends of the Children moves mentorship beyond the volunteer realm, allowing us to make a long-term commitment to youth and their families. What does that feel like in practice? Watch youth, their families, and their Friends describe it -- and try to count how many times they say words like "fun" "good" "support" "progress" and "love": https://lnkd.in/eiSEuZKe #FriendsUtah #OneChildOneFriend #PutChildrenFirst #FriendsoftheChildren #MentoringMatters #MentorsMatter
