As you introduce your children to the big concepts of kindness and caring, you'll get further if you can link these ideas to everyday activities, or to projects that reflect your youngster's passions. For many children, that passion is animals.
Create a Family Giving Circle
Giving Circles make for fun and effective philanthropy, whether you have $5 or $500 to give. The idea is that individuals pool funds, then decide as a group where to donate. By creating a Family Giving Circle, you can use this same concept to teach your children about charitable giving. They'll love having a big say in donation decisions and will learn firsthand about this crucial way of sharing.
