Teaching my kids to care about others and to give back seems to have happened naturally and slowly over time.
- Too many daughters and too many Barbies in our house sparked us to use birthdays as a way to collect for others and to give back.
- Too many apples while baking Thanksgiving pies and a new tradition of giving away a "thankful pie" was born.
- Small things like throwing coins in donation cups are important teachable moments for my kids.
When they do show the initiative to give, I make sure I am their proudest cheerleader. Getmore ideas on raising kids that care here!
