Four Ways To Make Charity Not Consumption A Priority For Your Children During The Holidays
Author launches Four Ways To Change Campaign To Teach Parents How to Raise Charitable Children.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) November 30, 2010 - This holiday everyone is tightening their purse strings. But, families still feel the emotional pull of seeing excited kids openings gifts on Christmas morning. Either spend money you really don't have or spend less and risk seeing disappointed faces huddled around the Christmas tree. What's a parent to do? They can find simple answers with the 4 Ways to Change campaign. The 4 Ways to Change campaign offers FOUR Basic Steps parents can implement that put an emphasis on changing the world for the better instead of frivolous spending. These steps will be shared throughout December on the Story Time Book Tour sponsored by SpencersFirst.com. On the tour, Mr. Merritt will read copies of his children's book Spencer's First Dollar and share principles of saving and charity instead of spending.
" We are telling parents don't worry, you have options," said James A. Merritt, author of Spencer's First Dollar; the children's book that teaches money is a tool not a toy. "Instead of spending money when you know you should be saving, take this opportunity to instill a different money value in your children." Small gifts that won't hurt the budget and emphasize giving shift expectations and establish long term healthy money management habits for children. Here are FOUR quick and easy examples:
1. Make gifts with your children. 2. Donate money to charity in their name. 3. Gather their used toys and clothes and gift them to a needy family. 4. Re-Invent the Twelve Days of Christmas with charity.
The holidays should be about joy not stress. Establish new traditions that will ensure your family gets joy from helping others and not self-indulging. James A. Merritt is the author of Spencer's First Dollar and the forthcoming Spencer's First Bank Account. Available exclusively online at www.spencersfirst.com.
