Teaching our children to avoid being "passive bystanders"



Doing Good Together shared both of the articles below.  They were tough (in a good way) to read. Both the Huffington Post article and the DGT newsletter talk about how easy it is to be passive bystanders in our lives and the impact of modeling that to our kids. In some ways it's easier to reach out to others during a structured volunteering activity, but it may even be more important to focus on ways we can reach out during everyday experiences.  I really liked the practical tips and advice that were shared in each of the articles.
