Helping Children Discover: “I Have Something Valuable to Give”
Healthy self-esteem isn’t only knowing:
“I have value.”
It’s also recognizing:
“I have something valuable to give.”
Children don’t need money or presents to be generous. They can give their time, attention, encouragement, knowledge, kindness, skills, and help.
🎁 What Does Generosity Look Like?
A child can:
Help someone clean up.
Teach someone something they know.
Invite someone to join.
Encourage someone who’s struggling.
Give someone their attention.
Help without being asked.
The question becomes:
“What do I have that could help someone else?”
Generosity Still Includes Boundaries
Being generous doesn’t mean giving away everything you have, ignoring your needs, or allowing someone to take advantage of you.
Generosity is choosing to contribute when we can.
