maybe a story about a family who lost
everything they owned in a fire."
You won't have any problem finding
sources, she adds. "God knows there
are enough things in the paper today
that point out how little so many
have." It's in the news here and in
Israel.
Eisenberger says she just received an
e-mail about a family that barely has
enough money to get food on the
table, and kids should know about this
kind of thing."
Eisenberger also emphasizes the
importance of making giving a Jewish
activity.
"Teach them that Israel is a part of
who they are as Jews," she says, "and
as Jews we all have responsibility for

one another."
Always give tzedakah before
lighting Shabbat candles, she
suggests, and donate one
Chanukah treat to a needy
family.
But don't teach your chil-
dren about destitute families,
only to turn around and encourage
their own excess, she adds.
Believe it or not, your child can sur-
vive the year without a new set of skis,
an iPod, a lavishly redecorated room, a
bar-mitzvah party with a budget that
tops the national debt, a cell phone
that shows videos and an entire
wardrobe of Louis Vuitton.
"Some parents actually foster the
idea that over-comsumption and
excess" is acceptable, she says. As a
result, "a lot of kids today haven't the
faintest idea what's going on in the
world. They're totally, totally oblivi-
ous. The only way they know different
is to live in a home where parents
make tzedakah and caring for others a
priority." Fl

It's never too early to start learning.
Here are Danny Siegel's "Four
Questions" for children 3 and older.
Use these to help boys and girls dis-
cover ways they can make the world
a better place:

1. What am I good at?
2. What do I like to do?
3. What bothers me so much about
what is wrong in the world that I
weep or scream in anger and frustra-
tion, or am speechless at the horror
of it?
4. Whom do I know?
5. Why not?
6. What can I do right now?
7. What am I not good at but might
do anyway because it would make a
big difference in someone's life?

Another Siegel tool for helping chil-
dren appreciate what they have, and
helping others, is "I Have To Do
Something":

1. I have to do something.
2. I have to do something.
3. I have to do something.
4. I have to do something.
Have your child read each, decide
which works best for him, then do
something.
And if your son thinks he's just too
young, Siegel asks families to consid-
er 11-year-old Trevor, who years ago
asked his parents to see what a "street
person" was; today, the entire family
goes out every night of the week to
help the homeless and hungry.
Or what about Jennifer, a fourth-
grader who was troubled because she
heard about schools that couldn't
afford books for students. So Jennifer
started a little book fund on her own
— and promptly raised more than
$10,000.
