C is for Compassion



Start this C- week off explaining the letter C. Write it down and see if your older children can write the letter. Ask them if they can think of any words that start with C.

This week focus on Compassion with your children. Explain to your children that others may not have it as well as they do. Some children don't have food to eat or clothes to wear. Explain that they can help others. Help your children feel compassion. Look for someone who is hurting, a sick neighbor or a lonely grandma living far away. Bake cookies for someone or send a letter to someone who is hurting or lonely. If you can, take a trip to visit a sick relative. They will appreciate more than you will ever know.


Save some of their allowance money for the church poor box. Gives toys or clothes away to the poor. Moms, these character traits that you take the time to teach while your children are young will serve them well in the years to come as they grow into mature, well formed Christian adults.

Tell your child that God is watching everything you do, to bless you not, to hurt you. You can't out give God, so as you bless others God in return blesses you. God is good!

1 Peter 3 8-9

"Finally, all of you be of one mind, sympathetic, loving toward one another, compassionate, humble. Do not return evil for evil, or insult for insult; but, on the contrary, a blessing, because to this you were called, that you might inherit a blessing."
