120: Helping Kids Be Givers: A Your Child Explained Episode

There are so many great reasons to help our kids give, no matter their age. Today we dig into not just why but how to help even very young children become "givers." For many years now, my two boys set aside just a little bit of money each month – an idea given to us by the mom of a friend of theirs. This particular mom also happens to be a midwife, and Max and Jay are helping fund her trip to Haiti, to train midwives and deliver babies, contributing nearly 200 dollars with this little bit of money each month! There were tears in this mom's eyes when I handed over their donation; that is the power of giving. But it doesn't just have to be about money. Small kids can contribute in several other ways – listen to this episode for some other ideas to help you help your child become a giver.
