B-4 The Press-Dispatch Wednesday, November 13, 2013 Focus on the money: Teach your children the joy of giving Get your family into the holiday spirit with traditions that encourage generosity yearround. The best way to get your children into the spirit of giving this holiday season is to lead by example. Instead of just sending a check to your favorite charity, talk with your children about what you're doing and why you picked that cause. Then get them involved. Make the experience as hands-on as possible. The more directly kids are involved, the deeper the impression the experience will make and the longer the memory will last. The holidays offer plenty of opportunities. For instance, ask your children to help you choose a gift for a local toy drive. Better still, have them buy it with their own money. Give your children a lump sum of money and allow them to decide how they want to distribute it. Remember that generosity doesn't just mean giving money. It could also mean being considerate of others and lending a helping hand. You could encourage your children to help an elderly neighbor, offer to baby-sit for a small child. These gestures make a lasting impression. Build on holiday lessons throughout the year. Ask your children to help you pack up clothes they've outgrown or toys they no longer play with and bring the kids along when you give away the old items so they can see how much their generosity is appreciated. Once your children reach middle school or high school, they're old enough to donate their time and volunteer on their own. Putting themselves in someone else's shoes can encourage a lifetime of sharing. Get your family into the holiday spirit with traditions that encourage generosity year-round. SiAr 711 E.
