Raise Grateful People
Raise Responsible Citizens
Find ways to help others throughout the year by setting up donations and volunteering with your child. This will help your kids develop their self-worth and give them a broader sense of community.
Don’t Raise a Spoiled Kid
Teach your kids according to this thought – each kid is a treasure, but no child is the center of the universe.
Teach Your Kids What It Means to Be a Good Person
Even toddlers can determine right from wrong, nice from mean, so start early. When reading your kids a bedtime story, or watching a television show with them, ask them whether the characters were being nice or mean and investigate why.
Teach Your Kids Why Values Are Important
The short answer – When we are honest, kind, generous and respectful it makes the people around us feel good. It also makes us feel good about ourselves.
Show Gratitude
Make it a point to take turns taking about specific people and the ways that they were generous, helpful and kind to you that day. It may sound silly, but it will make everyone feel good.
