4 Ways to Teach Your Kids to Give Back During Christmas

Have your family read about and share the stories of Rezen and Arcelia and what their experience was in the hospital during the holidays.

Stories like these can help teach kids empathy as they understand the experiences of and share the feelings of others. 

You can lead your kids by example by showing them what generosity and acts of kindness looks like in your everyday life.

One thing you could do is, after reading Arcelia and Rezen's stories, brainstorm ways you might be able to help families in similar situations.

Talk to your child about what you can do as a family to support those in need. 

A practical activity is to look for charities on Guide Star and Charity Navigator focused on supporting a cause your family resonates with.

Give your kids a chance to practice generosity by donating to a charity. 

You can give with confidence to Starlight, who has earned four stars with Charity Navigator for eight years in a row. 

You can think of creative and fun ways to raise money with your kids, such as holding a lemonade stand or making custom accessories.
