From birth well into their teens and beyond, we can continue to provide our children with the tools to care for those in need – from the friend whose parents are divorcing to the homeless man living on the city streets to victims of unforeseen disasters. We, as parents, are the most important tool to show our children selflessness.Providing a home environment that is filled with empathy, generosity, compassion, kindness and consideration creates an ideal learning area for your children. When children witness your positive behavior, they have a greater tendency to model it.
Spend time with your children. Read books to young ones about manners and sharing. As they grow, openly discuss events such as war or natural disasters and have your child help you create and act on solutions to help those that have been affected.
