Give children opportunities to share their gently used clothing, toys and books with needy children in the community. Have children work in groups and share supplies rather than working individually. Ask the children with snacks what they can do to make sure that everyone has a snack.Give half of the children a snack that can be easily divided into two portions. Encourage a sharing attitude by providing practical opportunities for children to share.IDEAS YOU CAN USE How can I help children become good stewards? Teaching and training children to be responsible stewards begins in the nursery and continues throughout our lives. From teaching toddlers to pick up toys to involving preteens in mission projects, we train our children that it’s all God’s and He has given us the privilege to take care of it for Him. Stewardship is taking care of something one does not own. All the land, all the water, all the buildings, all the cars, all the houses, all the “everything” belongs to God.
According to Psalms 24:1, God owns everything. As we grow and mature we realize that everything is not ours and, as a matter of fact, it is all God’s. One of the “things” includes a selfish attitude. But when I grew up I put away childish things,” 2 Corinthians 13:11 NLT. “When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. This is normal age-appropriate thinking and behavior for a 2-year-old, but if encouraged and indulged, Jessica will probably grow up to be a selfish, self-centered adult. At age 2, Jessica thinks everything she sees and wants is hers. “Mine!” 2-year-old Jessica shouts as she snatches the stuffed bear from another child’s hand.
