Unselfish Children

Read a good article titled "Raise Unselfish Children in a Self-Absorbed World." The author's (Jill Rigby) main points are based off of her same-titled book:
  1. Take a hard look at yourself.
  2. Accept responsibility and make a plan.
  3. Take charge of your kids.
  4. Meet all of your children's needs, but not all of their desires.
  5. Encourage your kids to place their confidence in God rather than in themselves.
  6. Cultivate compassion in your children.
  7. Build family togetherness.
  8. Help your kids learn how to forgive.
  9. Cultivate generosity and gratitude.
  10. Give your children opportunities to serve their community.
  11. Help your kids make a positive difference in the world.
  12. Parent with eternity in view.
