Generativity is when grownups want to take care of things and people. It's kind of like when a mommy or daddy takes care of their baby. It makes them feel happy and important. Grownups can show generativity in lots of ways, like taking care of their family, their friends, their jobs or even taking care of the planet by doing things like recycling or planting a garden. It's important for grownups to feel generative because it helps them feel fulfilled and happy, knowing that they are doing good things for others.
