RDI Outside of the Home

our favorite holiday activities - week 4

SPREADING CHRISTMAS CHEER THROUGH RDI

This week we are encouraging you to do some RDI outside of the home to spread some Christmas cheer to those around you. Here are some ideas:

- Christmas Caroling: You could visit family members, neighbors, or a local rest home to sing together. Make sure to have a big enough group to ensure that both you and your child will be comfortable standing and singing together.

- Take a gift to someone: You could take a gift to a family member, neighbor, or friend, and visit them at their home. Encourage your child to sit by you on the couch as you visit together.

- Visit a loved one: Christmas is the perfect time of year to spend time with those you love. Take your children to visit someone who is dear to your heart and allow them the chance to meet him/her.

- Find Christmas Lights: Take your child on a drive to find local Christmas lights, or downtown to Temple Square to walk around and look at the lights. Use this opportunity to share the experience with your child and enjoy spending time together.

Please remember that suggested activity ideas cater to different children with varying RDI needs. Choose which activity fits your child and your family situation, and then adapt the activity specifically for your own child. We would love to hear how the activity went for your family!
