In the third and final part of this new mini-series on Inspired Parenting, Dasee Berkowitz and Tovah Leah Nachmani focus on Generosity. Who is the most generous person you know? Reflecting on the transformative powers of giving as well as receiving, Dasee and Tovah Leah discuss 3 ways to show up in the world “with our eyes wide open” – focusing on why we give, what we give, and how we give. By clarifying our own ideas about giving, we can invite our families to engage in a conversation about how to live generously.
