Everyone wants their child to learn that sharing is caring, so they'll grow up to be upstanding citizens who give a hoot about the people and world around them.
Becoming a kind adult definitely starts when one is just a tiny little baby. The earlier a baby learns to be a good human, the better.
A wonderful way to teach a little one kindness is to pair him or her with a pet. If a baby can learn how to be kind to an animal, he or she will begin to understand that other beings, both human and otherwise, have feelings and emotions too.
When this little guy sits in his high chair for a yummy afternoon snack, a big doberman pinscher sits close by his side. This dog is just about as well behaved as they come. You can see that he clearly wants something, but he's as patient as can be.
But this baby is one of those little guys that's learning early what it means to be a part of a larger, loving community. While he holds a delicious piece of string cheese in his hand, he's not thinking about how much he's been looking forward to his snack all morning, as he is about his canine companion sitting ever so sweetly next to him. Keep an eye on this little boy's hands as he reaches towards the pup…
