Try this week with your kids
Noki suggests a first week of quests and rewards for your kids. You change what you like before you start.
Why it matters
Helping a neighbor builds kindness and a sense of community, and it shows teens that their help matters outside the family too.
Steps for kids
- Pick a neighbor you know with a grown-up.
- Ask politely what would help.
- Agree on the day and the time.
- Do the job well and on time.
- Tell your family how it went.
