In this episode, John Bromley joins host Alyson Schafer to explore how parents can foster social awareness and generosity in their children through charitable giving.

They dive into the concept of a charitable allowance; a practical way to teach kids how to give with intention and empathy. John shares insights on how parents can equip children to become thoughtful givers by involving them in the giving process from an early age.

They also discuss:

  • the power of modelling generosity as a parent.

  • why recognition and feedback are key when kids show (or miss) opportunities to be generous.

  • practical ways to nurture empathy and social interest in everyday life.

Listen to the full episode below for a thoughtful conversation about raising kids who care about others—and are empowered to make a difference!
