“Volunteer in your local community”
It doesn’t have to be a big event. Any small good deed is worth it. You can ask your children to accompany you to a local shelter and help out serving food. You can get together some used clothes to give to charity. You can help out at a dog shelter to care for abandoned or homeless pets. These will show your kids that caring for others is a wonderful thing, and this will carry over until they grow up as adults.
In the age of technology and social media, it is easy to get swallowed up with gadgets and TV. Let us remember that interacting with other people is still a great way to get involved in the community. It allows kids to see what other people’s lives are like, and it allows them to learn how to empathize and care for others.
Hey there, Martha here, a full-time mom of two, currently trying to bring a small impact in everyone’s life whom I can reach through The Queen Momma. I usually write on topics related to parenting, pregnancy and motherhood. Having gone through a few rocky relationships myself, I consider myself somewhat of an “expert” on topics related to dating and relationships.
I formerly worked at Special Needs Network Inc and BrightStar Care of Beverly Hills as a head manager. I have a passion for assisting organizations and individuals in achieving their objectives and have had the opportunity to do so throughout my professional career. At present, writing for The Queen Momma is a great addition to my professional career.
I love the sentiments of this post! It’s so important for all of us to appreciate what we have, and understand that not everyone is as lucky. It definitely should start when we’re young. A lovely read. Thanks for sharing, x
Love this!
This subject is very close to my husband and I. Great stuff for when our little one is older!
Teaching kids to be caring at a young age is very important. I thank my child when she behaves well. 😃 Thank you for sharing. These ideas are helpful. I’ll tell my little one more stories about empathy,helping others and caring.
Hi Lawrifel,
