Oh, that song is KILLER!!!!! I know exactly what you are talking about. And I know what you mean with the camera, sometimes I have to sneak it!

Ok, I will also try to get a little clip of what he says so I can share with you! He often doesn’t perform when he knows the camera is on though!

It is a very hard concept to understand. I know when I was growing up, they always had the commercial on where the children were starving and a man was asking for money for them. That kind of hit home, but I don’t see that commercial anymore. I do see that horrible one for animals that Sarah Mcloughlan (spelling?)sings on! Holy Tears Batman!

She will be four in May. And I don’t think my daughter would have fully understood had I not shown her the pictures. I just googled, “starving children” and a bunch came up. She was absolutely fascinated. Confused, too. Couldn’t wrap her mind around the fact that not every child could just ask his or her parents for food. And thank you for your kind words! Great hearing from you!

How old is she? My 4 yr old does not believe me when I tell him about homeless children and families and starving children. I tried to find some video on youtube during Christmas time and I just couldn’t find any that I thought he would understand. I think I’ll show him your little girl and the pictures you posted.

I love “God has birdies and vegetables in his pocket!”

I definitely want my boy to be grateful and empathetic to others.

Great post!

Meagan, that is awesome!! I love that you tied the experience close to the family with a child with Sophie’s birthday! I am so glad to hear things that your parents did when you were younger stuck with you! I am hoping the same happens for Gwyn!

Next time, tomorrow night, when my kids are complaining about having to eat the deadly beans I put in their meals on a regular basis, I think I will try this approach.

Back in early summer, I watched Girl Rising and after I let that night I adopted a little girl from the Democratic Republic of Congo, through World Vision. To keep a special tie to our family and for Sophie to relate to this little girl, I chose one with her birthday (a few years older, but still on 4/3). It’s a very important for us to teach our children how fortunate they are, and show them there are many kids out there with much less. I remember my mom and dad took us to the poor side of town when we were kids, because we were being ungrateful. I remember being shocked that not everyone had a nice house. I also remember being 4 or 5 and she was showing us pictures of kids from their recent Mexico trip. They were playing in yellow dirty water and my mom gave me a toy that one of the girls my age had sold her. I was so shocked. But those lessons and conversations stuck with me! Good work Shannon, you are a fantastic mommy!
