What if my child is having trouble picking just one charity and wants to choose more than one?
Only one charity can be selected for your child’s ECHOage party. This means that you and your child must choose one charity to feature on the invitation that you will send out to your guests. If your child feels compassion for the needs of all the charities, this presents a wonderful opportunity for you as a parent. There are many ways to handle this situation. One solution is to tell your child that next year he/she can choose one of the other charities for his/her ECHOage party. Another idea is to tell your child that he/she can raise some money for one of the other charities in another way, like organizing a lemonade stand to raise money. If your child shows concern for all the charities, this is an opening for you to explore why your child might feel this way and to uncover his/her sense of compassion.
