You don't want watching a more needy sibling to be seen as a punishment to the older childs selfish antics. I had to watch my younger brothers growing up and at the time I resented them and my parents for making do it. Of course, I was a teenager and had better things to do, but in hindsight I can see it taught me patience more than anything and since I wasn't very good at doing what my brothers asked me, they learned self-reliance. I think older kids might get more out of volunteering at a soup kitchen or animal shelter since it is a more dramatic visual to see someone have nothing, and then realize they do have more than most and probably take some stuff granted. I volunteered at the animal shelter and loved it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
