TEACHING KIDS TO GIVE: 10 Tips for Raising Kind Kids

<p>As a parent, we all want our children to have healthy, happy lives. But far too many children grow up without ever learning the importance of giving. That teaches them not to give to others, and the more dominant they are in their fledgling years, the more unlikely they are to change their behavior. However, teaching your child how to give to others can increase their self-esteem and help them look out for others that are less fortunate. It also teaches them that the world doesn't revolve around them, something all children can learn. Teaching kids to give also encourages saying no to selfishness and prepares them to be more inclusive towards others. So what can you do to teach your children to give? Try these strategies:&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Let your children follow your lead. Children learn by watching. If you give without a second thought, your children will learn to do the same. So, before you provide any donation, ask your child first. That will help your child learn that giving to others comes with responsibility and that giving to others is a privilege, not a right. And don't just practice giving once and call it a day. Keep giving regularly.&nbsp;</p> <p>2.Compel them by showing them that their help benefits others. In other words, make it about them. And studies report that children tend to help others when they can see the world through the eyes of those they help.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/app">https://anchor.fm/app</a> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wayne-weathersby/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/wayne-weathersby/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/wayne-weathersby/support</a>
