Little Kids and Chocolate Sales
There are many ways to inspire children, including supporting them through new experiences, like fundraisers.

credit:kalandrakasPayton was all business as he stood at my door, rehearsing his sales pitch to sell chocolate for his t-ball team. With his dad coaching him close by, the five year old managed to give me all the pertinent information.
How could I refuse? Four of my favorite things were presented to me at one time: chocolate, t-ball, a darling little boy, and a devoted dad taking part in his child's life.
The chocolate arrived yesterday and even if it was a bit overpriced, I'm sure it will be delicious.
For Payton, I'm equally sure that the experience he had going door to door, talking to adults, writing down names, and making the delivery, will help give him more confidence when he faces his next challenge.
With his dad's help, he probably also learned that you can't expect everyone to buy what you are selling, but that you continue to be nice to them anyway.
A pat on the back to all the moms and dads who help their children sell that beautiful gift wrap paper, the yummy candy and the fleecy school sweatshirts. It is another way to inspire your children.
