Resume Writing for Kids

As our children plan for their summer activities, some may need to write a resume for summer internship programs or for a neighborhood job. This resume template was designed to help our children organize their thoughts and experiences in a professional template. Children have used this format to obtain jobs as parents’ helpers, dog walkers, gardeners, babysitters, and to support work and community service activities.

What Empathy Teaches Us About Families

I recently met with a group of parents to discuss how we can increase our children’s awareness and empathy for others. Through our sharing, we learned that:

Empathy can be learned when we overcame adversity or a negative experience. When we are rescued by others, we may not learn to overcome a challenge.
When family members provide healthy support and not rescue their children, the children must learn how to resolve a challenge. This reflective process can help children learn compassion, empathy, and how to successfully solve daily challenges with others.
