From the Trenches Foster values by teaching kids to serve Christie Hansen by Christie A. Hansen Only a few weeks after the birth of my second sec-ond child. I came down with the flu. I had no appetite, but knew I needed to keep hydrated. Aching and tired, I shuffled into the kitchen in search of some juice. I came up empty-handed. Desperate, I called a neighbor to see if she had any on hand, promising promis-ing to pay her back w hen I felt better. bet-ter. Sure, she said, and a few minutes min-utes later she rang the doorbell and handed me a paper bag. Returning to the kitchen, I reached into the bag and discovered she'd given me more than I'd asked for. There was not only two different differ-ent kinds of juice, but also a jar of canned pasta sauce, frozen ravioli, and a toss-and-serve Caesar salad -a dinner any husband could make. After having been on the receiving receiv-ing end of many similar gestures, I'm left with a few questions. . . . Why does giving service seem to be second nature for some people? Are they naturally nice? Did they just come that way? My guess is that generosity is a learned behavior one that I'd love to teach my kids. But how? I'm sure that the "monkey see, monkey do" rule of example applies, but when it comes to service, ser-vice, nothing takes the place of hands-on experience. Try some of these ideas to encourage the budding philanthropist philan-thropist at your house. Next time you go to a sporting event with your child, buy t large bag of Starbursts. Take one and then pass the rest down the row to share. When you're out for ice cream, pay for a few free cones to be given to the next kids who come in. Have your children help you think of someone w ho needs a night off from cooking. Then order and pay for a pizza and have it delivered deliv-ered anonymously. Offer to run errands for someone who has a hard time getting out and about If you or your kids know someone who is having a though day or a difficult time, make it better bet-ter by doing something - anything - to let them know someone cares. Try not to thwart your child's budding generosity. Should your son decide to give his friend the new toy he got for his birthday, instead of scolding him, praise his actions. Be a community activist Together with your children, choose a worthy cause in your community com-munity and give, give, give! Share your smile generously. Let your kids help you bake a batch of cookies and leave them on someone's doorstep. Visit a retirement home and perform per-form a musical number as a family. Return for one-on-one visits. Nothing brightens a day like a dandelion bouquet from an earnest youngster. Why not encourage your child to give one to a neighbor? Say "thank you to someone who helps you and really means it Encourage your children to do the same. Let the person behind you in line at the store go ahead of you. Offer to watch the kids for a friend or neighbor while they go on a date with their spouse. Without being caught, weed a neighbor's flower beds. (Before enlisting your children's help, make sure they're old enough to differentiate differen-tiate between flowers and weeds.) Bundle up the kids, arm them with small shovels and clear a neighbor's driveway and walks. Graciously accept help from those who offer. Teach children that it is best to give and to receive!
