Thriving Families Give Thanks!!!
AT-HOME FAMILY TIME CHALLENGE
Most of us learned to say “Thank you” at a young age, but as we get older, we sometimes forget to add these words—especially when talking to those who are closest to us. It’s one of the reasons we love the month of November and the chance to give thanks. We all want to see an “attitude of gratitude” in our homes.
This month, we want to see what your family is thankful for! Were you given a gift that you share as a family? Do you have a special family tradition that you are grateful you get to do together? Is there someone who has shown kindness to your kids?
Show us something or someone YOUR family is thankful for! Take a picture of you and your family with the thing or person you are thankful for and send it to us! Post it on our Facebook page (and tag it with #tsufathomechallenge) or email it to info@thissideupfamily.org between Nov. 24th – 26th!
WHY??!!!
YOU COULD WIN. All entries will be submitted for a Family FUNnection basket that contains a gift card, board game and more!
THE BIG WHY. Because Family Time is so important and has been proven to be a key indicator of a child’s success and well-being. Children who are positively connected to their family relationships are less likely to make poor choices and more likely to become confident, content community participants as they grow up! That relationship building starts NOW, no matter the age of your child! It’s never too early and it’s never too late to focus on family connection! And the results are trajectory-changing, for the family and community strengthening!
Thank you for participating in this purposeful challenge to increase FAMILY TIME in your home and our community. Winner will be announced Nov. 29th.
