[quote=Anonymous]Tonight, I took my two children, ages 15 and 11, to serve 'snack' at a local homeless shelter. Not only did we get to 'bond' as a family, my two kids who admittedly live a rather sheltered, privileged life of private school and vacations and a nice home got to realize that these are real people who are homeless. I think it really helped them to see that their minuscule problems of not having the latest iPhone or getting a bad grade on a math test really pale in comparison to the fact that there are kids their age who don't even have a house. It was a great experience. I highly recommend doing something like it with your teens/preteens.[/quote]
