No matter how elaborate your holiday giving plans, it is
important to talk to children about the true meaning of the holidays and the
spirit of kindness and generosity that surrounds this special time of year.
Parents are powerful models to their children during their developing years. As such, their impact should transmit lessons which their children can assimilate into their value system.
Generosity is a positive trait that parents should consider teaching their
children, for it would enhance the discovery of other traits that would help
them to succeed in their future careers.
Children are easily impressed by what they see in their parents. If they see
them offering help and showing kindness to others, children emulate these
kindly acts. If parents are mindful of the welfare of their fellow men, their
offspring will catch the same spirit towards others, too.
Ellen G. White, the author of the book, Education, wrote,
“Character building is the most important work ever entrusted to human beings;
and never before was its diligent study so important as now. Never was any
previous generation called to meet issues so momentous; never before were young
men and young women confronted by perils so great as those confronting them
today.”
