Our Minnesota Early Childhood Initiative is celebrating its 10-year milestone, and the thousands of young children positively impacted by our work.
We all have a role to play in helping our youngest citizens thrive. Here’s a list of things you can do to support them–whether they’re your children, grandchildren, neighbors, or even a family standing in line at the grocery store!
- Smile at them.
- Read a book to them.
- Say the ABCs with them.
- Ask the child to count as high as they can.
- Pick a color and have them identify things that are the same color.
- Play a game together.
- Go for a walk together.
- Share a healthy snack.
- Ask them a question and listen to their answer.
- Tell them they matter and that you care about them.
