Pragmatic and Adaptive Skills for Children at Risk

Dear all,

After kids had learned how to manage their pocket money, we discussed the topic of how to organize our daily routine and schedule. The end of the year is a good time to talk about the new things we want to learn and do during the new year and also to learn how to create daily routine that works for us. Usually the kids make all these things together with their parents at home. But those who come from chaotic homes or institutions where belongings aren’t put away never learn that life can run more smoothly if they organize their things and their time a little more. In homes where there is no set time or space for doing homework, kids never learn how to make themselves accomplish an unpleasant task. Kids who don’t develop basic self-care routines, from grooming to food, may find it hard to take care of themselves as young adults. In order to help children to establish constructive habits during the group work sessions in December we invited the kids to make their own list with their duties, plans and wishes for 2019 and to design a planner. On 28th of December we organized an afternoon goodbye 2018 party where the kids from Pragmatic and Adaptive skills program were brought together with those who participated in other Reachout’s programs. All together they made posters with their special wishes for 2019 and presented them to the others. On the last day of 2018 Reachout’s project Pragmatic and Adaptive Skills for Children at Risk was fully funded. With your great support we raised the full amount for our first project in GlobalGiving just for 7 months. Once again, a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who supported our project. We will be very happy to stay in touch and have the opportunity to update you for our future activities and projects. If you want to continue to support us to make the children at risk successful in life you can donate to our Project Afterschool Program for Children at Risk.
