(NC)-With so many presents, the holiday's can turn the focus for some children into "getting" instead of "giving". Christian Children's Fund of Canada, an organization that helps children in need around the world, has some helpful hints to use during the gift-giving season as a way to instill generosity in your child:
Teach them to count their blessings. Remember those less fortunate at home and around the world. Children can identify with a child their own age in living in another country. The idea that some children don't have any toys on Christmas is a big shock for many children.
Needs vs. Wants. Help children think about those who are truly needy of gifts. Have them consider the basic items they really need everyday. Ask them what they need this Christmas not just what they want.
