Q1: When a letter arrives in the mail asking for money, do you toss it in the recycling bin or do you take a closer look?
Q2: Have you ever wondered how these small gestures are interpreted by your children?
*Interesting Facts To Ponder* Recent research and study related to culture of active caring demonstrate:
1) a clear connection between a child's direct and observed experiences of volunteering and donating and his or her involvement in charitable activities later in life;
2) a teenager's family is the "Number One" role model influencing his or her decisions about charitable giving and volunteerism; and
3) benefits derive from these activities including increased self esteem, a feeling of being valued, exposure to environments in which they can meet new people, and the opportunity to learn new skills (ie leadership skill).
Charity Starts at Home - instill and nurture charitable giving (sadaqah) value and habits in your children's heart by helping the poor and needy.
