The top parenting method of teaching generosity is sharing which works about 15% of the time. The rest of the time it produces sibling rivalry, tantrums and arguments. Do you really want these for your family?

How To Teach Generosity Correctly

The most effective way of teaching generosity is by teaching both sharing and ownership, each for use when it’s appropriate. Yeah ... it’s a bit more work upfront but the payoff is huge later on.

Parents today don’t know how to teach ownership because it’s not generally taught in school and is not promoted in the media. In fact, it’s often wrongfully demonized by social institutions.

Parents who practice both sharing and ownership fall upon it by chance or find out about it from extra curricula activities or they inherited the wisdom from their parents.

The Great Side-Effects of Generosity

When we discovered how to teach generosity correctly we didn’t realize it came with great side-effects. Tantrums, sibling rivalry and emotional outbreaks either totally vanish or mostly reduced and generosity is tremendously increased.

You have to ask yourself if the resulting peace and quiet at home is worth the time and effort required to teach generosity correctly.

What’s it worth to you to have some extra time to complete some unfinished projects, or start those new ones you’ve been putting off, or just take a long worry-free vacation or rest. What’s that harmony and tranquility worth to you??
