Home > Safe Children and Healthy Families are a Shared Responsibility: 2006 Community Resource Packet > Child Abuse Prevention Month Calendar of Activities Child Abuse Prevention Month Calendar of Activities
Everyone can do small things every day that help children to have healthy, safe lives. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. The calendar below suggests an activity you can do each day of the month to show a child how much you care. Every activity is not necessarily developmentally appropriate for every child. So, be creative! Saturday 1 Compliment a child's accomplishment. Sunday 2 Read a book with a child. Monday 3 Fly a kite together. Tuesday 4 Involve a child in preparing a special meal. Wednesday 5 Catch your child doing something good. Thursday 6 Remind your child that your love is not dependent on schoolwork. Friday 7 Leave a love note in your child's lunch bag. Saturday 8 Ask your child's opinion on an issue that affects the family. Sunday 9 Go to a playground or a park together. Monday 10 Coordinate a scavenger hunt around your house. Tuesday 11 Tell a child about something funny that happened to you when you were a child. Wednesday 12 Take flowers home to your spouse with a note on why you value your marriage. Thursday 13 Bake and decorate a cake or make cookies together. Friday 14 Work on an art project together. Saturday 15 Talk with a child about what to do in an emergency. Sunday 16 Look for figures in the clouds. Monday 17 Give a new responsibility—and a new privilege—to your child. Tuesday 18 Practice crossing the street safely. Wednesday 19 Visit neighbors together, particularly if they have children. Thursday 20 Donate old clothes, toys, or household items to charity together. Friday 21 Watch a video together.
