My oldest is only 21 months but I encourage him to help others through prayer. We pray for his friends who aren’t feeling well
My son is 6 and my daughter is 2 and I have encouraged them to help others through giving – be it saving our loose change for the collection the church has for the pregnancy care center or for missionaries. Another I’ve encouraged them is through donating their outgrown clothing and toys they no longer play with.
I am a teacher, so I try to encourage my students to be the best they can be!
I pray for others in need with my son and encourage him to be kind and loving.
My daughter is 13 months, and I am trying to teach her to share with others right now.
I work with high school girls and encourage them to slow down and think about their words and actions……..once it’s out there the damage of hurtful words/actions is already done.
Every year we make up gift boxes for X-mas to donate at church. Each of the kids makes one. Also our church does a shoe drive for missions & last year my kids bought & donated 9 pairs of shoes. Thanks!
I help others by entering giveaways. That sounds silly but my friend who has a gluten free daughter got SIX gluten free products because one of my winnings!
I also put prayer requests at the end of my blogs.
I’ve always encouraged my kids to stick up for the “underdog” in school. We have had many kind remarks during conferences from teachers who appreciated their kindness toward others. I think it has helped them to see that while some kids might not be as smart or as physically able as others, they are still a valued individual.
This year I had my 2 year old go to the store and pick out a toy to donate for Toys for Tots and I plan on having him do this every year. When he get’s a little older I would love to have him help out at the animal shelters! Thanks for the chance.
I don’t think we’ve done anything but oldest son has naturally learned to help his younger sisters and brother. He gave his last two gummy bears that he got at school to his sisters when he came home. He is always willing to help them by getting them water or reaching a toy that is out of reach.
I encourage my preschool students by having holiday parties in which we donate items to a charity. For example for Valentines’ Day, the children wore pjs and we donated new pjs to a local shelter. tracietrump@yahoo.com
I teach my kids to be compassionate and thoughtful towards others
I encourage my kids to help those less fortunate by being a positive role model and doing it myself!
