[quote=Anonymous]Yes I care about this deeply and it is hard especially when we give them experiences we never had as a kid. Agree with the others - it is about exposure and instilling a desire to give back (this is hard) but it is a must. volunteer with them, help them brainstorm ideas to help others, etc. One thing we have done since they were little is through a local non profit we adopt several families at christmas time. We receive their wish lists and then shop and wrap the presents. They also need people to deliver presents to the families on a specified day. My kids have been doing the shopping, wrapping and delivery since early elementary (even when they still believed in Santa). Many times the adults would open the door to receive the gifts on delivery day and we would see the joy in their faces when they knew they had presents to put under the tree. My kids still talk about seeing the joy and how it made them feel knowing they were making a difference for others. [/quote]
