Look for opportunities to do something with your child that results in helping others. If your child is old enough to be in school you can find meaningful ways to do things together that result in others being touched.
Be creative but be intentional so that your child’s experiences are teaching moments. There are many needs to be met and each experience can teach something different. Help clean up a park, volunteer to work in a soup kitchen, serve a meal to senior citizens, attend a civic meeting, visit an animal shelter, volunteer time to help an elderly person by washing windows, pulling weeds, cleaning out a storage shed, etc. The goal is to work with your child to meet a need.
