Being Selfless

Teaching kids to be selfless in a world that is full of self-centeredness can be tricky. We all have a lot going on in our lives and it is hard to live with purpose with our busy schedules and a full brain.

I have had this a lot with my own children, especially when they are tired and have many commitments; it is easy to just worry about what is happening to you and not to think of how others are feeling.

“We live in a selfie culture. Our kids can hardly escape it. They’re bombarded with announcements of how many likes friends receive on social media, and even their clothing encourages them to, “Love your selfie!”

So how do we encourage our kids to think of others before themselves? The last thing that I say to my kids before sending them off to school each day is “Choose to be kind”. I am hoping that it at least makes them think before acting.

Here are some tips to help raise selfless kids in today’s world, I have loved these tips and tried many of them, and I hope you find them helpful too.
