Teach The Children

Years ago there were no cart corrals at the grocery store.  There were people who walked you and your cart to your car, and returned the cart.  
Sometimes now, we find carts that folks leave in the parking spots or between rather than taking them to the corral. Look at the opportunities to teach your children to pay it forward!

• You can park, then take a wayward cart with you into the store and use it.
• You can be sure your cart is safely in the stall, not able to roll into a car.
• You can notice someone who could use help with their cart - a mom with a small child who she is putting into the carseat, an elderly person, a person with limited ability to maneuver, or anyone, for that matter.
• You might even help those folks load their groceries into their car, then help with the cart.

Think of how you feel, and how your children learn, when you model these opportunities to love and care for others.  
Send your teenager to return your cart to the store if you’ve parked where there are no corrals, or walk with your younger child and do so yourself.
Teach your children well.  Transform their experiences. To Life!!
