If parents want to raise generous children, what works? Years of looking into which youth experiences best predict giving by adults offer some clues.

* Seeing an admired person who isn’t a family member help others.

* Seeing a family member help others.

* Doing volunteer work.

* Raising money door to door.

* Being active in student government.

* Belonging to a youth group, such as the Boy Scouts.

* Being active in a religious organization.

* Being helped by others.

The biggest deterrent to generosity: not seeing a family member help others.
