PRAYER Use this prayer as a guide, either after your discussion or right before bed tonight: “Dear God, right now it feels especially hard to put others first. We need Your help even more to think of someone else’s needs above our own. We know that You hear us when we pray, and You want to help us do hard things like putting others first. Help us be more like Jesus and think of others before we think of ourselves. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.” ©2020 THE RETHINK GROUP, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Download the free Parent Cue App AVAILABLE FOR IOS AND ANDROID DEVICES WHAT YOU NEED: sticky notes, index cards, or scraps of paper; tape; pen/pencils WHAT YOU DO: Talk together about some different ways you can put others first. Here are a few ideas to get you started: Letting someone else choose which movie to watch Helping with a chore that’s not your responsibility Holding a door open for someone Taking out trash cans or getting mail for an elderly neighbor Doing schoolwork without complaining Being patient with family members What other ideas can you think of? Write each one on a sticky note, index card, or small scrap of paper. Once you have about seven to 10 ideas, stick them to a wall or lay them out on the floor or table.

(Use this moment to encourage your kid by talking about something good you’ve seen them do this past week. Give an example of how you’ve seen them put someone else first, and encourage them to think of other ways they can continue to do that this week.) • How has someone put YOU first this week?
