Give Intentionally
Give Intentionally so they can feel the joy and satisfaction that comes from realizing that they have the power to make a difference.
Quote: "He who gives while he lives, gets to know where it goes." Percy Ross.
One of the four pillars of learning: GIVE intentionally.
We have a natural desire to give to others of our time, our talents and our possessions. Helping your children to be purposeful and deliberate teaches them the power of giving.
TIP 1: Have a conversation with your children about what they would like to give to family and friends.
TIP 2: Together as a family, research the work done by various charities in the community and worldwide. Discuss with them where they would like to make a difference and how they can make it happen? Decide if it is to be time, talent or money or a combination.
