Global Effort and Giving Back
Do you give back? Do you teach your children how to give back to others? why or why not? That has to be on of the single most important task we as parents I feel have been assigned to us, teaching our kids how to respect others people and give back to others. I bet you will find in households with kids who misbehave, act out or disrespect authority, parents that do not respect other people or give back to others themselves. Setting an example early on, even as infants, will instill an attitude of giving and respect that will follow your kids later in life and help them far more than you think.
How do you teach them to give back? Easy, show them by doing it yourself! Volunteer, deliver meals, donate to local charities, collect toys for tots, give away toys and clothes to the less fortunate, donate can foods to local food banks, take homemade cookies to a local neighborhood senior, show acts of kindness with your kids helping ( we love to to these all the time).
Share some of your giving back ideas in our comments, we love to hear them!
I love the infographic below that shows some giving back from major companies! A Global effort to help the world we live in. We studied this today and wanted to share it.
Great post! My son's school promotes the ideas of giving back and volunteerism- his class bags rice for the local food pantry every week. We do things at home, too- but it is so nice to have him see the importance of giving back from more than one perspective.
