Consider eooking together. With Chanukah (or any Jew ish holiday, really) being a holiday involving lots of food, your ehild is the perfeet mateh for a ehef assistant. Making sufganiyot? Flave them sprinkle the powdered sugar or form the dough balls. Making latkes? Engage ehildren in washing the pota toes or eraeking the eggs. A favorite at our house is eookie making and deeorat- ing. From making the dough, to stamping out with eookie eutters to deeorating the drei- dels, memories will abound from a family eooking expe- rienee. Don’t forget to doeument your experienees together. With smart phones, we have photos at our fingertips but journaling with ehildren is also a fun way to relive moments as well. A former parent from my last sehool now has eol- lege students and she reeently wrote me about her daughter’s journaling they used to do eaeh night when she was in presehool and early elementary sehool. They still laugh about the silly parts of her day they reealled and affee- tionately appreeiate having those memories doeumented. More than anything, I wish eaeh Lighting Chanukah candles. of you a wonderful, enlightening Chanukah this year. I hope you start or eontinue your family tradi tion of the gift of time.

The big birthday eake, blowing out the eandles, and of eourse the niee pile of presents. Flowever, for ehildren with speeial needs, birthday parties ean be few and far between. There’s few things worse than having a birth day party without any guests. Just as hard is not getting invited to partieipate in other’s parties. At the start of the sehool year. Friendship Cirele launehed its monthly Birthday Cirele program to provide a birthday experienee for ehildren and teens with speeial needs. Together as friends, we eel- ebrate the birthdays of our teen friends and speeial friends in a warm and inelusive environment. Celebrating birthdays is what Friendship Cirele is all about. What better way to say, “You are important” than by eelebrating the day you were bom. We start by giving tzedakah to start off the year with a Mitzvah and then it’s on to birthday wishes as we share our best hopes for our “Birthday Friends.” There’s eake and iee eream and eandles to blow out, birthday eards signed by all our friends and a speeial birthday gift too. “Pin the Friendship in the Cir ele,” musieal ehairs, and the ever popular Pinata. Sure it’s all fun and games but there are important birthday skills hidden there too: taking turns, good sportsmanship, and the The Birthday Friends art of winning and losing graeefully. After all, the best learned skills are the ones you learn while having fun. ^ Friendship Circle pairs teen friends with children and teens who have special needs for a range of social and edu cational opportunities including its flagship home visitation program called Friends@Home.
