New This Month
“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?”
-Henry David Thoreau
This month we will focus on EMPATHY. Why should we as parents and caregivers explicitly teach and model the concept of empathy? Because Empathy is a learned trait. Everyone is born with the ability to feel empathy but many of us need to develop skills in order to understand and feel sensitive towards the feelings and emotions of others.
New on the site this month you will find:
- Teaching Your Kids Empathy
- Books for Teaching Empathy–Our monthly book list is filled with great titles to help you discuss the topic of empathy with your kids this month.
- Birthday Party Service Ideas
- Holiday Cards for the Military
- Recycled Art Program
- Socktober
- Halloween Candy Switch
- Service Project Ideas for the month of October
- Printable Book List–The Kids in Service booklist is FREE and you can print it out or download it to your phone so that you can take it with you to the local bookstore or library. The list is updated monthly, and organized by category, with all of the book recommendations from the site.
We are looking forward to a month of exploring the topic of empathy with you and your family!
