Children have an innate capacity for kindness and compassion, but these values must be nurtured if they are to flourish in adulthood. Encouraging thoughtfulness is particularly important in a culture saturated with messages of materialism, cynicism and entitlement. This presentation, especially appropriate for parents of young children, explores three core questions:
How does caring and compassion develop in children?
How can parents encourage compassion and generosity? Included are 10 simple strategies for raising warm, curious children who understand the joy of compassion and service, and who meet the world with integrity.
What are the common challenges parents face when engaging children in charitable giving and how can they be overcome?
Our goal is to see every child grow up knowing that part of what we do—as citizens, as human beings—is to help one another out. At every workshop, we’ll let you know how we’re working toward that vision and how you can help.
