How can we optimize the Christmas experience with meaningful, hands-on memory-makers in our families? This week on Flourish-Meant, we dove into the magic of making Christmas hands-on for the whole family. Julie shared priceless tips on creating unforgettable memories with your kids through engaging, sensory-rich activities. From crafting unique gingerbread houses to starting meaningful family traditions, she emphasizes the irreplaceable value of slowing down and being truly present.&nbsp;&nbsp; Julie Lavender, prolific author and journalist, holds a master's degree in early childhood education. With extensive experience as an educator and homeschooling parent, Julie shares her treasure trove of creative ideas and traditions that have left lasting memories for her family along with&nbsp;insights to help your family have a more connected and joyful holiday season. Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:   Intentional togetherness matters: Rather than keeping kids occupied while you handle holiday chores, involve them in the process—be it wrapping gifts or baking. This fosters a sense of belonging and excitement.   Incorporate multisensory learning: Engage all senses to deepen understanding and make lasting memories. Activities like crafting gingerbread houses or playing with nativity sets can resonate more profoundly than simple storytelling.   Embrace imperfections and individuality: Allow children to participate in their own unique ways and embrace the joy that comes from personal creativity. This not only mirrors the way God sees us but also creates cherished family traditions.

Hands-on Holidays for Kids with Julie Lavender

As a doctor, Dr. Hans Kluge helped save lives in some of the toughest places on Earth. Now the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Europe, he is working to improve the health of hundreds of millions of people - in a region stretching from Vladivostok to Lisbon.

"We cannot have health without peace. Peace is the most urgent medicine.”  

Stepping into his European role just as a global pandemic swept the earth, Dr. Kluge never dreamed that his previous experience in crisis-hit sub-Saharan Africa would prove so useful.  In this episode, Dr. Kluge reflects on lessons learned during COVID, the mental health crisis, and on some surprising methods to build trust with remote communities.  

“My dream and my vision is that we have a culture of health. It means that, independent of your financial means, your sexual orientation, whether you are documented or an undocumented migrant, that you are empowered to live a healthy life, and this means that we have to have universal health coverage.”
