Activity

As you are preparing your family for the day tell them that they have a MISSION! Get them excited about this mission and rally them like they are secret agents with the most important mission EVER! The mission is KINDNESS. Tell them to find as many ways as they can to be kind throughout the day and tell them to be ready to share them in the evening. (Don’t forget to follow up that evening!)
