How to help your children understand the importance of charity?




It’s not always easy to get your children to understand the importance of giving and the work charities do. What can help is to point out local and global charities that benefit everyone and use films and books to inspire them.

Here are some examples:
  • Charities working on land conservation, preserving wetlands and wooded areas they enjoy playing in.
  • Charities working to stop species like rhinos, gorillas and tigers from becoming extinct.
  • Charities working to feed and help some of the children they go to school with.
  • Charities that raise money to help find a cure for serious illnesses like cancer.Picture books like Just Help! How to Build a Better World, which asks the question, ‘Who will you help today?’
  • The Lorax movie (Netflix) helps educate children about the environment and explores how we can't just take and give nothing in return.
  • Up (Disney) teaches empathy for people different from ourselves. No one is ever too young (or too old) to help someone else.
  • Pay It Forwards (Amazon Prime) A young boy develops a plan to pay each good deed forward. Each act of kindness goes on to inspire another.
