You can celebrate Children's Week at home with your family. Here are a few ideas:

  • Have a special meal celebrating your children and invite a neighbor and their children to join you.
  • Parents, tell your child three things that you love about him/her. Write them on a sheet of paper or create a special card and give it to your child to keep.
  • Write a letter to the editor or to your legislator to advocate for a children's cause that is meaningful to you.
  • Post an online comment on Facebook or tweet an activity idea to celebrate Children's Week.
  • Ask local businesses to sponsor activities or opportunities for students at your child’s early learning site. Ask if they will provide materials or incentives for students.
  • Offer to host a field trip to a local business or agency for your child's classroom.
  • Arrange to spend a morning in your child's class doing a special activity with them and their classmates.
  • Ask your child questions such as "what is the best thing about being a child?" and "what would you like to do to celebrate for Children’s Week?" and "what do you like doing best with your family?"
  • Together with your child choose some toys and clothes he or she has outgrown and give them to charity so that other children may enjoy them.

April has been designated National Autism Awareness Month in America since the 1970s with the goal of educating the public about autism and issues within the autism community. With autism prevalence now one in every 110 children in America, education is paramount.

FACE Autism, Inc., a local non-profit agency supporting families of children with autism since 2009, is organizing their first annual Autism Fair to provide families with children diagnosed with autism, and those who believe they may have a child suffering from autism, with the available resources to assist them in their child's development from diagnosis and beyond.
