YOUR CUE
This week, have a conversation with your kid and ask them: “Who is ONE adult you think is cool who you would like to get to know better?” Schedule a time for them to connect!
ENTER TO WIN
We wanted to create a way for parents to be intentional about collecting words from special leaders in your child’s life, like coaches, teachers, or family friends.
We designed a few cards for you to hand to the adults who have influenced your child over time, to prompt them with words to get them started with what to say. Put these cards in a beautiful keepsake box, and give it to your child when they graduate from high school. Whether you start in preschool or at the end of their senior year, you’ll be giving them a gift that will encourage and build them up for years to come.
Download this printable version for free and enter for your chance to win a “With You” box ($30 value) by signing up for our newsletter. We’ll select one random email list subscriber on 5/15/17!
