Take children to museums, concerts and cultural events

Having fun with our children is crucial to their social and emotional well-being. Children need opportunities, outside school, to develop new skills and interests. Show your support by attending events together. Watch for free events and special promotions and then attend events as a family. The more time a child spends with caring adults who nurture the child’s skills and creativity,  the more likely it is that she or he will grow up healthy. Children will benefit from constructive and enriching opportunities for growth through activities and programs, as well as quality time at home. (What Kids Need to Succeed, 1994).
