Hello There! I run a home childcare and visit your blog for ideas and tips on shooting photos of children in hopes their parents will enjoy them for years to come. Thanks for taking your time out to do this because I know how busy your REALYY are

I’m going to try this tonight. Wish me luck. Hopefully the reason behind it will encourage Harper to be more enthusiastic about rice for dinner.

[...] that note, I read this a few weeks ago and thought it was a great idea, especially right now with Haiti’s disaster [...]

This is such a great idea! I always hope I’m consistent and thoughtful enough to do this when I have kids. Thanks for sharing!

Honestly, we didn’t do anything like this when I was a kid. I think this is really awesome and amazing and doing this makes you more of a super mom than “always having it together.”

My dad would be driving the family car and if there was a snake or turtle in the road, he would stop to help it get across. I now do this myself. Since he did it, I assumed that I was supposed to stop and help an animal.
Thanks Dad, for teaching me to help all creatures!

I think this is an outstanding idea. I have been taking my son grocery shopping and then I ask him to pick something out for the food cart at our church. His selections usually lead to us talking about where the food goes, etc. I think this would be a great thing for our family to do, too. thanks!!

Ashley, I like the idea of putting the money on their plate for them to really grasp the idea of giving. Alot of times we tell the girls we are giving something, but if it was never theirs to begin with, then they never know they are giving it. I love hearing everyone’s ideas of how to teach kids life lessons. My mother was always real good at keeping us involved in giving. She let us help cook the meal, shop for the items, or whatever to give away. She also did a great job at communicating what we were doing. Also, she just incorporated it into our everyday life, so it wasn’t just at a holiday that we gave, but just in everyday circumstances. It is hard sometimes to take a little time to involve the kids. I sometimes get stuck in the “get it done” mode. Thanks for this post.
