07 November, 2022
With the abundance of the holiday season approaching, are you looking for a way to show your kids concretely how important it is to care for others and to pay it forward? Discover our Good Deeds Advent Calendar now! As well as beautifully decorating a wall of your home, this calendar lets your kids discover a good deed to do every day before Christmas, and develop values of altruism, generosity and solidarity along the way!
A few good deeds you'll find in it:
- Leave a thank-you note for the mail carrier in your community mailbox or your mailbox
- Clean a corner of the house that's often neglected
- Bake cookies for a neighbour
- Help your parent make the meal
- Make a Christmas present for your brother or sister and wrap it
Do you want to work even more good deeds into your family routine and encourage your kids to contribute concretely to the well-being of others? Here are a few more suggestions!
- Ask your child to pick out library books for their little brother or sister
- Go restock your neighbourhood Croque-Livres (little free library)
- Lead by example and get involved in your children's everyday environment or in your community
- Shovel the neighbours' driveway as a family after a snowstorm
Want to go even further? Why not do a volunteer activity as a family? During the holidays there are often plenty of opportunities, and your kids will get many benefits from them:
- developing self-confidence
- a greater sense of responsibility
- a concrete introduction to the working world
- developing values such as empathy and generosity
