A Joy to Share – Teaching Kids About Helping Others #KinderMom

Holiday time is magical, I always say that to my kid. People may not notice it right away, but it exists if you want to join and be part of it. Last year we participated in the CTV toy drive and I remember my boy gave a toy without any hesitation. He was happy and excited just to be a part of giving and sharing. I know kids learn by example. If parents show how even a little contribution can make a difference, this definitely helps kids, even very young, to understand the importance of giving back to people and community. Everything starts with the family.



I reminded my boy the time when he was sick and his aunt called him. How happy he was after their short conversation and how little he needed to feel better. I told my boy that he can help other people to have the same feeling, helping, for example, his friends, by sharing his toys and books, teaching younger cousins letters and numbers or treating our guests with a delicious creamy hazelnut KINDER Mini Eggs. And he sees that his attention, care and toys bring so much joy to other people.


It was amazing to learn that for the second year, KINDER has partnered with Children’s Miracle Network with the “A Joy To Share” program. The “A Joy to Share” program is one of the ways KINDER is helping bring joy to families this holiday season. It is a wonderful opportunity to teach our kids about what it means to help others. We were excited to create a holiday greeting card for the children in a Children’s Miracle Network member hospital. My boy was so involved in creating saying that his card can help recover another boy or girl in a hospital. So inspiring, you can do this too - for each greeting card that is created, KINDER® will donate $1 to the Children’s Miracle Network up to $25,000.
