Activities for Parents

Leaps Family Talk Guides are designed to help parents and other family members talk with children in their care about important social and emotional behaviors.

Each of the topics below comes with a simple, printable guide with step-by-step instructions for discussion activities. You can find the activities here: https://leapsforschools.com/activities-for-parents/ OR you can go to Parent University on the district website to access the activities as well.
