are familiar with the importance of community service, not all
children are. In a world of materialism and gotta have it, the
youth of America don’t always recognize the fact that there are
people who are in need of help. Developing a strong sense of
community service in your children will provide them with a
broader understanding of the world and their place in it. Still,
it is often difficult to determine just how to include community
service in your child’s life. There are several factors to
consider. - The child age - The child’s maturity level - The
child’s abilities. Taking these things in to account, you can
begin to look for community service opportunities that may be
ideal for your children. One idea is to have children work in a
soup kitchen. Younger children often find this to be both
rewarding and a bit scary. It offers you the opportunity to
demonstrate the differences in social classes and the real need
for assistance in our country.
