Are we raising children… or consumers?

from Parent Pause · host Kim McCabe

I’ve been wondering whether we spend so much time asking children what they want that we forget to help them discover something just as important - what they have to offer.This week I’m reflecting on why contributing to family and community isn’t just good for everyone else, it might be one of the things that helps children feel they truly belong.Thank you for pausing with me.Take care.
