Teach the Kids the Joy of Giving

Kids want stuff.

Everybody wants stuff.

Turn wanting

into a learning

opportunity.

Teach kids the beauty

of giving;

the pleasure

of giving

to somebody else.

Fun and joy come

from more

than receiving.

It’s not about the gift.  It is about somebody wanting to please you with a gift.  I always try to give something that I know the recipient would like, but probably would not buy for themselves.
