These activities will develop those organizing and writing skills. Two examples are Helen Keller and Rick Hansen. Situations such as floods or earthquakes can also present challenges. Talk with the child about some personal or family challenges that the child has faced or is currently facing, and help the child select one for the writing activity. If possible, a dictionary or thesaurus would be helpful.
People face challenges every day.
Make a list of challenges that you have had to meet. You could include a recent challenge in the list. Select one of these challenges and make some notes in point form about what the challenge was, how you felt about it, how you met it, and what you think you learned as a result of successfully facing this challenge. Identify the challenge and the reason that it was important to you. Tell how you planned to meet the challenge.
