Modeling Generosity for Children

To raise self-sufficient and kind children, modeling the desired traits is essential. If parents want their kids to develop generosity, they must demonstrate generosity themselves, particularly during the holiday season. This time of year presents an opportunity to shift focus from materialism to helping those in need. Engaging in acts of kindness, such as volunteering or donating, enables parents to teach their children the importance of giving and being considerate towards others.

Modeling Generosity: Teaching Kids to Help Others

If you want generous kids, you have to show them what a generous parent is. There is no better time than the holiday season to do this.

Every Thanksgiving, we encourage our listeners to join us in making a donation to Feeding America. Every $1 donated helps provide at least 10 meals. It only takes a little to make a big difference. We donated the first $30,000, and we’d like your help in reaching our goal of $300,000. If we hit that goal of $300,000, it would provide over 3 MILLION meals for families across the country.

Just head over to dailystoic.com/feed and together we can make a significant dent in a big problem. As Seneca reminds us, intention and attitude are central aspects in giving. Your donations show those in need that someone else cares, that someone else is by their side—just like the loved ones around your dinner table who have been by your side over the years.
