There's many ways you can teach your children how to give back. One of the easiest ways that we've started a tradition in our family, being that my daughter is a little bit older now and can kind of understand that she's three and 1/2 is this last Christmas. She got a lot of new things, a lot of new toys, a lot of new presents from the grandparents and the cousins and all that. And we taught her that every new thing that she got-which we hopefully didn't over do it-was that something old that she wasn't playing with anymore was going to be donated to a family that could use it. So it was actually-I got her involved with the, with the donation as well. So we had a big bin, and I had her pick out what she didn't want anymore and she put it into the bin and we gave it back to Baby Buggy.
