Helping Others
Help kids learn that there are plenty of ways that they can help other people, and a great way to show that they care about the community they live.
There are plenty of ways kids can help others without spending money. They may donate some of the money they save. Or they can give away outgrown, gently used clothes and toys. They can also share their time and teach others the things they are good at. A personal thought adds a special touch to let the recipient feel valued. Find opportunities in your community, such as volunteering together at a local park for a cleanup day.
