Raising Generous Children

By Jennifer Rogers
Being very rich so far as I am concerned is having a margin. The margin is
being able to give. 
- May Sarton, Journal of a Solitude
Raising children who conduct their lives according to a moral or ethical standard has never been easy. Yet today’s parents and teachers – even those of us who continue to delight in our work with children – wonder if something significant about childhood is missing. We suspect our daily labors are more strenuous and disorienting than they were for our grandparents.
