This week we continue our discussion about our family motto: broaden and contribute. Listen in as we talk about how our parents instilled a contributing-to-the-world mindset in our family growing up, and ways we're continuing that with our children. We want our kids to feel for others and feel empowered to know they can do something to make a difference. In what ways do you help your children contribute? 

Listed below are movies & books we recommend to help your family develop a desire to contribute:

- Thirst

- Kisses from Katie

- The Promise of a Pencil 

- Shawni's blog has a post discussing these books here

- The Good Lie

- Queen of Katwe

- The Blind Side
