[quote=Anonymous]She has to get that being empathetic and generous feels good. So far to her it's just taking her stuff away for no good reason. 7 year olds are still very selfish unless it's in their explicit nature not to be. Take her to a store to pick out a present for someone else with your money. Have her give the present and receive praise. I did this with kids for their dad, grandparents. They always write a card too and see the recipient and get thanked. Bake/ make cookies with her and take to the fire station for the firemen. It's not enough to just read about it, she had to experience it in a positive way. I talked about it and did it and took them along. Made soup for a sick friend and took them with me to drop it off. Left things out for Buy Nothing group- something of mine someone else asked for etc etc. sometimes they saw that person stop by and greet them and appreciate receiving whatever it was. [/quote]
