Your
child will discover that the world is a better place when people help
each other. Consider these ideas for raising a helpful youngster.
1. Take on chores. Helping starts at home, and regular chores are a good place to begin.
2.
Assist classmates. Let your youngster see that he/she has the power to help
others. If he/she mentions someone who might need help (say, a classmate
who is struggling with math facts) ask, "What could you do?"
3.
Volunteer together. Your child can be a community volunteer with your
help. For ideas, contact the parks and recreation department or
community centers.
