IntroducingThe Spreadable JoySeries
Toys, books, bikes, scooters, lego and other miscellaneous pieces under foot…
Sounds like a scene from a horror film right?
A horror film especially made for parents that is.
The feeling of claustrophobia, drowning in a sea of child orientated clutter.
For many of us, our children are in the privileged position where they havemorethan what they need.
Toys to their hearts content.
But really is it to their hearts content?
Their toys can become parts of the furniture.
Yet we cling to them.
Post Christmas your house can feel like the walls are closing in on you with stuff.
A daughter who you are trying to teach the importance of her strength of character over looks.
We have all been there.
They are taken in love and we fully understand that it is the thought that counts.
So what do you do with these presents?
Many have a re-gifting pile, that comes in handy when kids birthday parties come around.
That warm fuzzy feeling, it warms the cockles of your heart and makes you feel happy and content.
This feeling should be nurtured and encouraged in our childrens hearts too.
Habits last a lifetime and so this flame should be kindled at a young age.
We encourage you as a family to include your children in the process of donating.
Dont let the future what-if they have a tantrum stop you.
Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.
Whether locally or internationally there is a place for any toy you want to donate.
Why not donate things to different places?
Some international organisations have the capacity to send toy shoeboxes out to children in need overseas.
The options are endless.
So join us this new year and make spreading kindness and joy a resolution for you and your family.
You wont regret it.
Kindness in words creates confidence.Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.Kindness in giving creates love.
