Day 28 - Boys Town - Daily Dose of Digital Support

It isn't easy being a kid right now. Time spent at school, in extra-curricular activities and with friends all help children and teens feel good about themselves. With these aspects of their lives now on hold and limited to online interactions, many kids aren’t getting the kind of nourishment they need and this can lead to lower feelings of self-worth. That’s why now is a great time to help your children by having them do an activity that highlights the qualities and strengths ​they have and can be proud of. This activity will give them a better understanding of their gifts and help them feel better about themselves.
