(NOVEMBER 2, 2022) Clinical Professor of Pediatrics Joseph Hagan Jr., M.D., was quoted in an article titled “When Is the Right Time for Kids to Start Volunteering?” that appeared in the Courier-Tribune and its sister publication Gladstone Dispatch (both based in Liberty, Mo.). No child is too young to volunteer, he explained; in fact, helping out during the toddler and preschool years helps shape a child’s sense of morality. Rather than wondering if a child is too young to volunteer, adults should focus on finding the right activity to match the child’s age.
