Education goes beyond literacy, right and wrong. The transmission of values that bring peace and harmony to future generations is also essential.
Small donations from day to day count, and much, to help others and make this planet a better place. And that's how you have to deal with your child's education.
1. We all have something to give
It can be money or material goods, which are the most common associations when we think of generosity. But you can also know, things that we know and that can help others. It can be a hug, a word of comfort, a little love. In the end, generosity is, above all, an inclination of your interior to do good. Talk to your child and encourage him to always share. This is the first step.
2. Practice is necessary
Generosity is a virtue more celebrated or mentioned than practiced. Generosity became a rare element, for those who do not practice it or believe in it, a bit of guilt is present society, traced in values such as selfishness and individualism and independence, although it may seem difficult, it is so.
That is, it is necessary to maintain the habit. Reinforce at home the frequency of generous attitudes. In a society that only asks you to receive, I never give, in the end, you always need someone close to us and even from other countries, have not you noticed? And it's not about feeling anything to give something or share something, just practice it and you'll feel good doing it, and your children will see you.
3. Set the example
The behavior model is essential for children to create an image of what it is to be generous. They tend to imitate what they see at home. And if you behave differently from what you preach, that leaves the child confused. And as a result, there is fear and insecurity.
4. Do not repress the child.
All children go through the egoistic phase, and I think that is normal in certain aspects. They do not want to share objects, toys, food, anything ... They make many "tantrums", here in Venezuela it is called that attitude of malice when they cry for everything and still want to repel socially. And the suggestion is not to leave them like this, this creates fear or affliction.
If a young person grows confident of himself, of his identity and of his place in the world, he will be more open to listening to other people and will be more understanding and generous with them. Generosity emerges little by little and needs to be stimulated at all stages of the child's development.

2 Corinthians 9: 7
"Each one gives as he proposed in his heart: not with sadness, nor out of necessity because God loves the cheerful giver".
Educate as much as you can and respect so that they respect you.
