At 4 she got gifts for the local "Teddy Bear Den", and she got to go deliver them. She thought that was cool. At 5 she donated the gifts to a local family in need and got to meet the children. She thought that was even cooler. The only Dr. Phil shows I let her watch are the ones where he helps children. She said that she wanted to help, so we started sending in her Birthday money. If you could see the excitement in her face when she gets the checks to send in, you would understand how this young girl thrives on helping. The shows confirm to her where the money goes. A child is never too young to have a love of seeing others happy.

 A four-year-old may not have the cognitive skilled to fully understand the ramifications of what they are doing, but they get that it is good to be nice to others.  I applaud this mother, because it is very important to start early with instilling values.  Even though a small child may not understand the difference between a truth and a lie, we still start early teaching them that lying is wrong.  This mom is starting early to teaching that giving is good.  So I give cootoes to this mom and her child too!
