Intentional Acts of Kindness!

Have you noticed that people like the idea of doing acts of kindness more than they actually like doing them? This printable makes acting kind easier by giving you practical ideas that are doable with kids and not a lot of cash. Thankfully, acts of kindness are also a great way to start help kids grow in confidence, empathy, and awareness.

This colorful two-sided printable is a great inspiration. Roll the dice to make it a game, decide what to do based on where a pebble lands on it, or bring it in the car and have your kids choose one to do along the way.

Family Summer Challenges from Average Advocate

Summer Checklist!

This was also designed during COVID years and this mama was going crazy!

It is great for those summers where the kids are at home (or all year round for homeschoolers!) This divides the challenges into categories, making it easier for the kids to engage in different areas of innovation, creativity, and imagination. And of course, best of all are the “Love Others Challenges” for actionable ways to practice caring for others in your community.

36 Weekly verses + values

These verses are paired with the value statements in the book. Christians can use this as a companion or stand-alone resource.

*I recognize many people who use Justice-Minded Kids do not adhere to my faith background. That is okay! At Average Advocate we focus on what we have in common, which is reflected in Justice-Minded Kids. I’m curious to discover how you leverage this curriculum within the context of your own faith/worldview.*

Raising Changermakers One-On-One Consulting Sessions

I encourage you not to do this journey alone. If you don’t have an experienced parent in your life who has also raised changemakers, I highly encourage you to set up a one-on-one consulting session with me. There is no need to reinvent the wheel on your own!

I have personal experience, other’s experiences, knowledge of available resources, as well as coaching tools that can support you. You’ll walk away feeling encouraged, supported, and will have a personalized and realistic plan for your family.
