Notebooks,
markers, pencils, crayons and backpacks…all of these items now line the store
shelves. There are plenty of school supplies that can fill your child’s
backpack. This year why not throw in a few blessings?
Sometimes
kids are anxious about the start of a new school year. Slip a little something
special in your child’s back each for a week or any time frame you decide.
Below are 5 ideas to get you started.
1. Write a poem – Roses are Red, Violets
are Blue, I packed a special treat just for you (it’s ok to be corny).
2. Draw a happy face (or picture of a
sun) on a yellow piece of paper and write the words, “You are my sunshine.”
Tuck the piece of paper into one of your child’s books.
3. Pack one of your child’s favorite
treats.
4. Create coupons for your child and put
one in her backpack each day (eg. Good for one day with no chores or good for
staying up 30 minutes past bedtime).
5. Give thanks for all the blessings you
already have.
Parents what
would you pack in your Backpack of Blessings. Here are a few ideas for you.
1. Thirty minutes of uninterrupted relax
time.
2. An evening of family time (doing
something together)
3. A good book
4. Being able to help someone in need
5. Give thanks for your journey and the
things you have overcome.
If all the
notebooks, markers, pencils and crayons were emptied form the store shelves,
what would you stuff in your Backpack of Blessings?
