The Spirit of Giving




The Early Years Podcast show

Summary: The idea for this episode was to discuss children making holiday gifts as a way of participating in the season. For many children and adults, making gifts is an expression of creativity and love. Giving should not be limited to the holidays. Parents and caregivers can model the spirit of giving throughout the year by gifts of talent, time, and money to people and organizations in the community. Hopefully, our discussion will help you think of ways your family can give by acts of kindness, volunteering, and donating. Talking with your child about the acts helps them process and learn about the spirit of giving. A child who is raised in a family that values giving becomes an adult who values giving.
