Generosity is tied closely to empathy, since it involves thinking about what other people want or need - and your children showed lots of empathy last month. Do check out who received certificates for this very value by visiting our values' page here!  Of course, the holidays and birthdays are times we associate most with giving, but generous acts at any time have a ripple effect, making the world a kinder, happier place.
