The Everyday Actions That Build Strong Families

The 6-A-Days

The 6-A-Days are six free, simple actions parents and caregivers can practice every day to strengthen connection and support healthy child development. Rooted in love, care, and consistency, they remind families that small moments like talking, reading, singing, playing, hugging, and encouraging are powerful tools for building strong, connected households.

The Galaxy Partners

This work is powered by partnerships rooted in trust, listening, and shared responsibility.

A Champion is anyone who chooses to show up as a guardian for children and families, every day.

Encourage

You are the biggest influence in terms of your child feeling important, valued, and worthy.

Have fun and play

Play is essential to a child’s mental, social, emotional, and physical development.

Read to them

Daily reading promotes positive bonding, encourages communication and builds language skills.

Give a hug

Hugging a toddler and providing reassurance provides a sense of security and calm.

Talk with them

What we say and how we speak may impact a child’s emotional traits from a very early age.

Sing to and with them

Does your child have a favorite song?
Closely watching them and interacting is a form of mindfulness.
