Celebrating Life with Children in September
Celebrating Life with Children in September
by Susie Cortright, http://www.momscape.com
Here are ten simple pleasures you can enjoy with your children this month.
1. Ask your child to read a book to you. Younger children can look at the pictures and describe
what’s going on in the book. Older children can read a current chapter in the book they are reading.
2. Make a Back-to-School time capsule with each child. This is a great tradition for the first week
of school. Over the years, you’ll have an album of memories that really tells a story. Here are
instructions and ideas on things to include at the Family Fun website:

3. Choose one Saturday this month to be Kids' Day. For one day this month, they choose what to eat
for meals, when to get dressed, what to do…
4. Ask each family member to start a gratitude journal. Younger children can draw pictures instead
of words.
5. Make a big bowl of popcorn, gather pillows, dim the lights and splurge on a Pay-Per-View kids
movie.
6. Take a walk with your children and let them decide the pace, as well as where to go. Allow them to
linger over a stream or a single flower if they wish. Budget a lot more time for this than you might
think you need so you’re sure to be unhurried and relaxed.
7. Plan a short bit of “special time” with each child….an hour or so to connect over hot cocoa or
lemonade. Ask them about new friendships and express a genuine interest in their social lives at the
beginning of this school year.
8. Take an art class with your child.
9. Blast music when you all are doing chores together.
10. Start working on homemade holiday gifts together. Now is the time to make some headway on those
fun projects – and still be relaxed enough to enjoy the process.
