Teaching the character trait of initiative to children is no easy feat. It takes guts and a lot of practice to step outside of your comfort zone and lend a helping hand whenever it’s needed.

Not only does a child (or an adult for that matter!) have to slow down enough to see a need, but they have to learn to do something to meet that need once it is recognized. Lending a helping hand and showing initiative goes hand in hand! (Pun totally intended 😉 )

This month we have been doing a challenge to train the character trait of initiative in our kiddoes! If you have joined us or would like to, this is a fun treat for your family that goes right along with that.

Build character in your kids with this free challenge! A challenge walking you through one baby step into training Godly character traits into your children. Join us as we focus on one character trait a month to build character in your kids!

Ideas on When to Use this Reward

  • At the end of the character challenge
  • Once your children have shown initiative a set amount of times
  • When you catch a family member in the act of lending a helping hand
  • As a treat for your children to give out when they see someone showing initiative
  • As a Helping Hand Initiative Character Challenge Party Favor!

  1. Line two large baking sheets with waxed paper. Spread popcorn over waxed paper.
  2. Drizzle melted chocolate and orange candy coating over the popcorn. Add the candy.
  3. Allow melted chocolate and orange candy coating to set completely before breaking into pieces. To speed the process, place the popcorn in a refrigerator or freezer just until set.
  4. Break popcorn apart. Scoop mix into a glove, working the snack mix into the fingers and palm area. NOTE: Make sure to use non-powdered gloves to avoid a yucky residue on your snack mix!
  5. Tie the glove at the wrist with a festive ribbon.
