Set a good example. Kids need to see others giving of their time, talents and treasures. Share positive stories. Talk about current examples of generosity in the news and how it helps people. Examine the lives of genuine heroes.
Kids can relate to benevolence in their favorite celebrities and sports figures.
Encourage acts of generosity and kindness. Let kids know you are proud of their efforts. Give them choices and responsibilities. If you let kids decide what will work, they will come up with an idea that is workable. Get them involved.
