How To Raise A Caring Child

Wednesday, January 20, 2021 by Kimberly Miller Leave a Comment

how to raise a caring child

All parents want to raise kind children. Whether you want your child to grow up to save the planet or to just be nice to their friends, there are some ways to encourage your children to grow into caring, compassionate individuals.  Believe They Can Be Kind If you treat a child as though they are always up to no good, they soon will be. If you assume that they do want to help and have concern for other people’s needs, they will usually live up to those expectations.  Model Positive Action What you do and say is important. Let … [Read more...] about How To Raise A Caring Child

Fight Hunger. Spark Change.

Wednesday, May 10, 2017 by Kimberly Miller

We are a one-income family, and yes, our financial situation is stretched to the limit at times, but we are usually able to survive from paycheck to paycheck and have what we need. It was not always so. Let me tell you a little story. About 15 years ago, I found out that I was pregnant with my youngest son. At the time, I had a good paying job as a legal assistant working with a well-respected law firm. I managed to work through most of my pregnancy until my last trimester when complications towards the end of my pregnancy caused me to be put … [Read more...] about Fight Hunger. Spark Change.

Volunteering: A Gift That Never Stops Giving

Friday, April 21, 2017 by Kimberly Miller

Becoming an International Volunteer If you like helping people and you want to gain some traveling experience, becoming an international volunteer could be just the thing for you.

Make Heart Hands for Farm Animals #ShopWithYourHeart

Wednesday, July 20, 2016 by Kimberly Miller

Aside from the people who are vegan, most everyone I know buys meat, eggs, or dairy at some point during the week/month/year. And those of you who do – have much more buying power than you probably even realize. By buying welfare-certified animal products, or more plant-based products, you send a strong message to food companies that you care about the treatment of farm animals. Just an average size family spends hundreds of dollars a month on meat. Imagine if every single consumer used that buying power to purchase welfare-certified meat … [Read more...] about Make Heart Hands for Farm Animals #ShopWithYourHeart

Child advocates from around the globe have teamed up to raise awareness (and funds) for children in … [Read more...] about #Relay4Kids – Making a Difference and Helping Children in Crisis

No Longer a Slumdog: Bringing Hope to Children in Crisis

Get your FREE copy of "No Longer a Slumdog: Bringing Hope to Children in Crisis"

As Americans, we believe that our children have a right to be born in a clean environment, to a good education, a good home to keep them warm, and a childhood free from troubles and worries. I know that when my children were born, the most important thing to me was to make sure that they were always fed, warm, and comfortable and had all of the comforts of home that I could give to them. Unfortunately, that is not the case for many children in other countries. Take a Trip with Me to India I want to take you on a trip to India with me. … [Read more...] about No Longer a Slumdog: Bringing Hope to Children in Crisis

Kicking Off the #SpiritOfChristmas with Stickman Stew

Friday, November 7, 2014 by Kimberly Miller

Stickman Stew and The Gold Heart Crew

I have always had a huge heart and did whatever I have been capable of doing to give back to my community and help those less fortunate. Whether by volunteering my time, making a donation, or just supporting the various fundraising events for my favorite charities - I've been involved in giving back for as long as I can remember. Sharing the Love and Giving Respect A few years ago, my family volunteered to help my sister's church serve a Thanksgiving meal to homeless men at The Hope Rescue Mission in Reading, PA. It was enlightening, … [Read more...] about Kicking Off the #SpiritOfChristmas with Stickman Stew

October is ADHD Awareness Month

October is ADHD Awareness Month

October is ADHD Awareness Month - did you know that? Having a bit of ADHD myself (at least I think so) and a child with ADHD, sometimes every day feels like ADHD Awareness Month around here. It can be difficult at times to manage, some days more so than others. Whenever those ADHD moments kick in though - I've got my places bookmarked that are my go-to references for all things ADHD-related. Living with ADHD So many people think ADHD is just bad parenting, or parents that won't to deal with their kids. I used to think that too. Many years … [Read more...] about October is ADHD Awareness Month
