I always give my nieces, my "inaanak" (these are kids whom i'm the godmother in baptism) during birthdays or Christmas season. I received chocolates from one of them. This gesture warms my heart. I hope the kids learn about giving as well.

I do think they can learn it by seeing from adults

@yoalldudes Yes. It's fun especially if there is a lot of sales coming.

they should be advised that giving should be voluntary.

They imitate what they observe. If elders do this infront of them they will learn it.

That's great! But maybe it comes from their parents idea because most of the kids enjoy only receiving.

Watching my baby brother and sister I'd say I disagree. Kids enjoy receiving attention most of all, positive attention. They like being told 'thank you' or 'how nice of you'. My mother uses that to reinforce positive behavior and it works out quite nicely, my siblings love giving to others and are overjoyed when they receive those people's smiles in return.

When kids are seeing this trait, they will remember it and will do it when they grow up.
