As a mom, you want to connect with your children, you want to be able to relate to them, and for them to relate to you. A great way to connect especially during the holidays is through giving. Whether you’re giving to the needy, giving to those near or far, such as to members of the military, or to children around the world through programs such as Operation Christmas Child, there are many ways to give. The act of giving is one that will leave you feeling better than you ever imagined and you’ll also be able to feel a connection with your own child as you both share in the “joy of giving”. 
The act of getting togehter the gift in itself will give you and your child meaningful time together that will allow you to connect in a meaningful and powerful way. Set up a time to make your “shopping trip” to stuff your box or pick out the perfect toy for a child or items for a soldier. Talk with them about the act of giving and help them to understand its importance. All the while you’ll be strengthening your own relationship with each other and learning to reach out to others too.
