Service

All the parents I know want their children to be kind to each other and would love to eliminate sibling rivalry.  While, I don’t think that sibling rivalry can be eliminated completely, I do believe that it can be reduced.   When sympathy and genuine understanding is offered by parents, as well as teaching a child to recognize the needs of others and offer kindness,  a discovery for that child happens.  They discover that compassion and service make them much happier.

Largely they will learn kindness through the example of their parents, but I think stories can be a wonderful resource to open a child’s heart and mind to feeling compassion.

One of the first ways that children learn about care and service may be through kindness to creatures.

A great resource.
