Parents have realized the fact that as their children are growing up, they constantly need new things but after a certain age, they are demanding for them, which ultimately lands us the point of them not ever being sharing.
In a world where all children do is to show their desire to have their lengthy list of demands obeyed, exists a child named Kai Martin, St.Louis Post-Dispatch tells. He's nine years of age and belongs to Arizona. Unlike other kids, he calculates the days till the winter break by packing an eatable item in a box so he can send it to a local sanctuary (orphan house, shelters) on the eve of Christmas.
He has inherited this giving nature by his mother, who is named Shanon Bodnar. She was overwhelmed to learn that her son had such a kind nature, his generosity touched her heart deep, he had been taking her with him to the deliverance of the toys for the needy.
She shared that Kai had been a philanthropic child since the beginning, she confessed her excitement to see how he turns out to be when he grows up. Carol Weismann explained that when the kids observe that their acts are making a good change in another one's life, a positive effect is coded in them, heightening both their pleasure and pride.
Weismann is the writer of Raising Children That Are Charitable. She further talks about how this puts a great effect on the social lives too. Neutral pathways can be developed if generosity is made a component of our daily life.
Parents play an essential role in all this, obviously. Eighty-seven percent of the children spelled out how their parents were their inspiration of making them take this initiative. But what is to be noted is that imposing your wishes on a child is never the solution instead some things should be done to make the children realize how significant this beneficial act of theirs is.
The caretakers should put this it into words or acts through Monopoly money if they child is still too young, to build their interests in sharing happiness and the annual giving. Family giving should especially be done in front of the kids. To try to make them realize the magnitude of this ritual.
Make the kid aware of how helpful the money would be to the needy who deserve it. It isn't necessary to use the money; the kids should share some parts of their life with people who have had beautiful moments snatched away from them.
They should communicate with them and make them feel no less than any other kid out there. This step isn't just reserved for Christmas because Kai turned down all the presents given to him on his birthday telling to donate them to leukemia and lymphoma society, this should be done whenever when feels to share their happiness with people who desperately need.
