Giving and Receiving

Encouraging Generosity and Gratitude

Thoughts for the Week:

For some children, being a generous giver and a gracious receiver are natural. But other children may need more time and more help from us -- not because they are selfish, but because they have trouble letting go. When we show children we care about their feelings and that we enjoy giving and receiving, we help them understand how much we receive when we give and how much we give when we receive.

-- Fred Rogers
