Charity begins at home means that family members are more important than anyone else, and should be the focus of a person's efforts.

I always thought this phrase meant that charity is learned at home. Teaching my daughter to cultivate and appreciate a charitable heart might be the most important thing I do. My parents truly blessed me growing up in a giving home.

You don’t have to be an adult. Having a positive impact on the life of another person can be done by another of any age, and it can be the smallest of things. My husband and I are firm believers that it is the small things in life that have the most impact, and we do all we can to instill that in our children.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.more4kids.info/687/teaching-kids-charity/">It is important though that your children see you being charitable as well. They learn best by example, so if mom and dad are making an effort to have a positive impact on the lives of others then they will want to do it as well.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.more4kids.info/687/teaching-kids-charity/">Start small, for example holding the door for someone. It may seem silly, but you can’t imagine the impact that it has on the person your child is holding the door for. Depending on the age of your child, helping an elderly neighbor carry in groceries is being charitable. These can be done all year.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/82455BF1-5B8D-491D-933E-2634663C8C31/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
