The Importance of Modeling Generosity

To raise generous kids who are self-sufficient, kind, and part of the solutions rather than problems, parents must model the traits they want to see in their children. By embodying generosity and showing what it means to be a giver, parents can influence their kids positively. The holiday season provides an opportune time to focus on the needs of others and teach children about helping those who are less fortunate. By volunteering, donating, and involving kids in the decision-making process, parents can impart the value of giving and instill gratitude in their children.
