Compassion...you're doing it right

A few days ago, Zee and I were on our way home from a quick trip to Target and a car pulled out in front of me. A very slooooow and stinky car emitting a ton of exhaust. Zee asked me what was wrong with the car, so I told her that it was broken. She sat thinking for a moment, then...


"Oh, I know! Maybe we can get him a new car!"

"That's really nice of you, Zee, but I don't think we can get him a new car. You are such a kind girl who really thinks about others!"

Another moment passes by then, "Oh I know! Maybe we can give him our car!"


Obviously we're doing well in teaching her compassion. Now how to start teaching her about finances. Philanthropy is great and all, but first we need money.

P.S. - After praising her compassion, I tried to help her come up with feasible ways to help someone with a broken car...like offering to give him a ride...as opposed to giving him a (or OUR) car. I love this girl!
