Everyday Generosity: Becoming a Generous Family in a Selfie World

by Drew Formsma and Brad Formsma

Drew, a teenager, and his father, Brad, pair a parent’s wisdom alongside a genuinely younger voice. Their shared premise is that generosity is a family lifestyle, not a single act.

They insist generosity isn’t only about money. Time, attention, words, and influence all count as things worth giving away.

• Recognizing everyone has something to give, regardless of age
• Everyday generosity experiences parents can try with kids
• The “ripple effect” of one generous family decision
• Practical, age-appropriate ways to model giving

Providing tangible takeaways to become more others-focused, Everyday Generosity shows that a family culture of generosity, started young, can shape a lasting legacy.
