Do You Encourage Your Kids To Participate In The Spirit Of Giving?

With the Holiday season here, do you encourage your child to participate in the Spirit of Giving?  Or, do you not think that is an important lesson to foster in a child's mind?  Since I'm raising 6 kids, I noticed this weekend that half of them are all about giving and half are more focused on the receiving.

It got me to thinking, do I push the non-givers to do something that involves the giving spirit?  I realize kids don't have money or might only have their allowance that they worked hard for.  I don't think a gift needs to cost money.  It can be a poem.  It can be a drawing.  Or, it can be doing a chore around the house that doesn't usually get done.  But, in my heart, I think kids need to participate in some way with some form of giving gesture.

What do you think?  Do I let the giving feeling come naturally or do I give it a little....push?
