Answer and Explanation:
Helping someone does not always mean giving them something material. You can help by giving them your attention, your time, your love. Here are ten ways you can render a helping hand to others - siblings, friends, classmates, parents and teacher:
1. Listening to them when they need to talk;
2. Leading by example;
3. Talking to them in a non-judgmental way;
4. Asking them them about their lives and truly listen for problems;
5. Helping them with chores, tasks, homework – anything, either big or small;
6. Letting them know they are special and unique the way they are;
7. Sharing life experiences and teaching them what I know;
8. Empathizing with their pain and helping to find solutions;
9. Telling them the truth and being committed to their well-being at all times;
10. Being present during difficult situations, even if there is nothing I can do.
Here is a poem to reflect a tribute of gratitude. It can address a family member, a friend, a boy/girlfriend. Feel free to edit if you wish to make it more personal:
My heart is filled with joy and love
My mouth pours words of gratitude
My hands crave for the moment when they will pay back
The moment when I will reciprocate
You might never understand
What it meant, how it felt
It felt like love
It felt like I was seen
It felt like I was important
I thank you
But that is not enough
May your days always be bright and warm
But if ever cloudy skies threaten to dim your light
I will be there to repay your kindness
