We interrupt finance week to share a post on helping kids get the most out of General Conference (I think most of you reading this blog know what General Conference is, but if you don't, go here).
We've heard of all sorts of things to help kids focus during the sessions of General Conference. What we decided to try this year is an idea I got from a friend and I think it will work well for our daughter:
We cut out the pictures of all the General Authorities and General Auxiliary Leaders, put them in various envelopes, and bought a special General Conference notebook. While we're watching conference we'll have our daughter find the picture of the person speaking (we'll provide her with the right envelope since she's so young). Then she can glue their picture into her notebook and take 'notes' or draw pictures to help remind her of what they are speaking about. Obviously, the older she gets the more effective her notetaking will become, but we're hoping this will be a fun way to start her in that direction.
What sort of things do you do for your kids? What have you found to be effective?

That's a great idea! I posted some conference packets, and some of them are geared towards younger kids. I can't wait for tomorrow. :-)
Thanks for the idea! I hadn't thought of that one! I think you may have seen the one we did with listening for certain words and getting a piece of candy if they tell us what word they heard...
