There is a gift in giving, a satisfied and positive feeling to know that you’ve made a difference in the world. You can share that gift with a child this holiday season.

Susan McLaughlin, director of corporate philanthropy for Toys “R” Us, developed these ABCs of charity and children:

• Pick a charity that helps children of a similar age to your child.

• Be charitable yourself. Children learn by example.

• Choose a charity that means something to your family.

• Donate. Give time, give toys, give money. Give all three."
