Creating New Family Traditions: Making Mealtimes More Meaningful
“Unfortunately, mealtimes are also a challenging time for many families. It often takes a lot of effort to simply get the meal prepared and the family members seated at the table. This leaves little time to think about mealtime rituals much less do any of them. If mealtimes offer a rare chance for us all to get together, then it makes sense to establish some rituals and traditions around meals. Here are some ideas on how to encourage meaningful mealtime traditions.”

NEW!! Ongoing Fundraiser
Camp Abeqweit is excited to announce that we are joining the UNITE Islanders Gold Rush. The UNITE Islanders Gold Rush is a collaborative fundraiser that is open to non-profit organizations on PEI. Funds will be used to help enhance programs and increase and improve opportunities for Islanders.
We encourage you to click on this link (https://causable.io/unite) to create an account, choose to support “Camp Abegweit” and play. A $5.00 play gets you 3 numbers. You can play up to $20.00 (12 numbers) per account per week. Once you are assigned your numbers they are yours forever/until you choose to stop, and are entered into every weekly draw. If you activate your numbers (pay $5.00) you have a chance to win half of the pot; if you do not activate your numbers (do not pay $5.00) and your number is drawn, you are a “nonwinner” and the pot rolls-over. To ensure you never miss a draw, click on the gray circular button to the left of your numbers and activate “AutoPlay”. Draws take place every Friday at 1:00.
You can further support the fundraiser by following and sharing the UNITE Islanders Gold Rush Facebook page: (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557691734622). Please encourage your friends/followers to support as well! Thanks for your support and good luck!
Are You Looking To Be A CIT?

How to Support Young Kids Who Are Struggling in School
“Remember, the goal is to help kids keep trying, even when things may not work out. Praise your child’s efforts and let them know that you’re proud of them for working hard, even if the results aren’t perfect. And when they do succeed, continue to focus on effort. For example, “You really stuck with your letters!” instead of “Those letters look perfect!”
