If you have a child I am sure you are hearing them talk about all the things they want under the tree or see them making lists upon lists for Santa. We need to remember that giving is a two – way street, and this is a great time of year to talk to your children about generosity.

Talking about giving can encourage lifelong generosity in kids. You may not know where to do begin the conversation but just remember to avoid language that makes people in need seem different. Instead focus on how all people need help at some point in their lives. Talk to your children about the help you have received as a parent, and make it relatable to your family.

Here are a few fantastic books that encourages ways for children to give back.  Remember, Giving Back doesn’t have to spot after the holidays it can be an ongoing effort that will change your child’s perspective of others and themselves for a lifetime.
