Teaching my kids about generosity

I've been thinking about how to actually teach my kids what giving means instead of just telling them. We're doing a family service project at church next month where we pack meals for homeless folks and I'm bringing all three kids. Hoping this shows them what it means to live out our faith instead of just talking about it.

That's awesome, man. I've found that kids really get it when they're doing something with their hands rather than just hearing about it. My oldest finally understood helping when we built some stuff for the community center together.

Church service projects are perfect for this. My kids talk about the stuff they've done way more than anything I could've explained to them. They'll remember it.

We started doing service activities as a family tradition and it's been huge for my son. Seeing him understand that his effort actually helps people has been one of the best parts of parenting so far.
