Helping Your Child Value Others

The Good Samaritan

Stories are a great way to teach moral lessons — and getting your children involved in storytelling will deepen the impression.

As you teach them the importance of “loving your neighbor as yourself,” have your children act out the Bible’s story of the good Samaritan, with you as the narrator. (See Luke 10:27-37.) Afterward ask:

• Which of the characters was a neighbor to the man who was robbed?

• What does it mean to “take pity” on someone?

• How does God expect us to treat others?

• Are there people around us in need of “neighborly” love?
