Since April 2014, Canadians have come out in droves to support the P&G and Walmart Clean Water Program, raising more than 20 million days of clean drinking water for families around the world and propelling the initiative to within 20 per cent of its year-long donation goal. P&G has pledged to donate the equivalent of one day of clean drinking water for every participating P&G household product purchased in Walmart stores or online at Walmart.ca until March 19, 2015. By stocking up on P&G products, you’ll be taking a small step to make a big difference.
Participating P&G Brands include:
How do you encourage your children to lend a hand in their local and global communities?
On a quarterly basis our family also donates items to daycares and donation centres.
When Hannah is a little older I would love for her and I to donate time with a charity that takes care of animals...it will just be hard for both of us not to want to take them all home!

For fostering the spirit of kindness make sure they share their toys

ReplyDeleteLead by example is the best thing you can do. Teach them to pay it forward, volunteer and donate. (Judy Cowan)

ReplyDeleteLori R Jackson
let them see you doing things that are kind and compassionate towards others - monkey see-monkey do!
ReplyDeleteWe take our grandkids to local charities with donations; instilling a giving nature is very important for us.
ReplyDeleteRAFFLECOPTER NAME is Anne Taylor
Children learn what they live....gotta let them see us showing the spirit of kindness!
ReplyDeleteI take my girls when I volunteer at the local homeless shelter. They learn by example that way.
ReplyDeleteTalk to your kids about the struggles facing people that they may not be aware of and show them how rewarding it is to share what you have.
ReplyDeleteGive them a small sum of money and give them the chance to direct how to donate the money. Provide ideas or take things discussed in class and use them as inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI let my son see my husband and I helping out, either donating toys, money, books or time as well as letting him see us taking turns and being respectful to eachother. We never want to point it out to boast but with a small child asking many questions its a great way to start a conversation and inspire creativity.
ReplyDeleteChildren learn be example. We teach them to share and be nice to others. We also donate time, used toys and used clothes.
ReplyDeleteMake rituals out of visiting and donating time and goods to shelters.
ReplyDeleteListen to their words. :)
ReplyDeleteEven just in the little things, help them to be thoughtful of others. Offering a drink. Giving up their spot on the couch.
ReplyDeleteDonating toys, clothes and foods
ReplyDeleteAlways show them that by being nice people will be nice back to you. Point this out as it happens. It goes a long way.
ReplyDeleteLive by example. They will only do what you do, not what you say.
ReplyDeleteTeach them manners and use them yourself.

Lead by example. Let them see you being kind yourself, and they'll imitate your actions.
ReplyDeleteHave them around or have them help with giving. I would have my boys come with me to pick up food items to donate, to drop off clothes and toys to be donated, etc. Lead by example.

ReplyDeleteteaching them to volunteer and help others
ReplyDeleteLead by example is the best method
ReplyDeleteI think show them is the best way , you can't just tell them they have to see it !
ReplyDeleteLead by example such as never littering, saying thank-you and letting your child see you show kindness. Keep a daily gratitude journal with your kids and each night list 3 items or events that happened that day that they are grateful for. That will motivate them to be kind.
ReplyDeleteTeach them their manners at a young age
ReplyDeleteWe set a positive example for our kids. They see us donate food, clothing, money to the local communities that need it. We tell them what we are doing and why we are doing it to help them understand that not everyone is as fortunate as we are.
ReplyDeleteTeach them to share and how to treat others at a young age
ReplyDeleteDrink lots of water
ReplyDeleteI think it is best to lead by example. Actions speak much louder than words. Foster kindness by giving to others. For example, go through your little one's used toys and both decide what they are ready to part with and donate to someone in need.
ReplyDeleteLead by example!
ReplyDeleteteach them to be kind to others, donate used toys and books, pay it forward
ReplyDeleteTeach them to share and feel empathy for others.
