Mission:

Ask your child to teach you something about their world.

Where do you find the best digging sticks in the yard?
What’s the proper way to make a pillow fort?
How do you catch a chicken in Minecraft?
Is there a right way to eat a cookie?

What are you going to learn about today?

Parenting Secret Missions are quick ideas for connecting with your kids, trying out a new parenting idea, finding gratitude amidst chaos, sparking conversation and finally, inspiring fun! Don’t take them too seriously, read them with a spirit of adventure or experimenting and keep the mission in mind for the day if it strikes you.
