Re-connect with your child this summer

As another hectic school year comes to a close, summer holidays present the perfect opportunity to re-connect with your child. Doing activities together is an ideal way to spend quality time, rediscover what makes your kids laugh and help create wonderful summer memories.

Here are just a few "togetherness" activities you could try:

Write a short story together

This creative activity will be fun for both of you as you use your imaginations to build a fun short story that you can keep for years to come.

Show compassion for others

An important part of re-connecting with your child is sharing generosity. Children have a natural compassion for those who are less fortunate than themselves and they like to see that their parents feel the same way too. Web sites like www.ccfcanada.ca give parents and kids a whole host of opportunities for you to express your kindness together-like helping a sick child overseas.
