FOR:
What
is Absolutely Incredible Kid Day�?
�
It�s an annual call to action inviting adults to write
letters of love and support to America�s children, created by Camp
Fire USA, one of the nation�s leading youth development organizations.
When
is Absolutely Incredible Kid Day�?
�
March 21, 2002 � and annually on the third Thursday of
each March.
Why
is Camp Fire USA sponsoring this event?
�
Camp Fire USA wants to honor the hundreds of thousands of
children involved in Camp Fire, as well as all kids nationwide.
�
Adults sometimes forget to stop and tell a child how
important he or she is. Absolutely
Incredible Kid Day� is a
reminder to do just that.
�
Camp Fire USA is an expert in adult-to-child
communication, and Absolutely
Incredible Kid Day�
strengthens the important bond between kids and adults.
What�s
so special about a letter?
�
A letter is
personal, tangible and something a person can hold onto for years to
come. Through written words, people can express emotions they may hold
back in conversation. And during the often-challenging times of
adolescence, children may be more open to reading a letter than having a
talk that may �embarrass� them.
Does
writing a letter really make a
difference?
�
Children need positive
reinforcement in their lives. The right words of encouragement can come
at just the time a child needs them most � helping the child make
better decisions, build self-esteem, and even be more compassionate and
successful.
What
is your goal for Absolutely
Incredible Kid Day�?
�
We want every child in America to receive a letter. Just
imagine the impact of loving letters in lunch boxes, on pillows or
tucked in backpacks.
