Our Hands
When it comes to family, everyone can reach out to help.
Print this page and work together to create helping hands. Display the hands in a place everyone can see. Before bed, look at the hands together and invite everyone to name one way they helped someone today. Try it in the morning too: invite everyone to name one way they plan to help someone today.
