How couples can navigate teaching effective altruism to their children

My wife thinks our teenage kids should be involved in our family's giving decisions to teach them about effective altruism, but I worry we're imposing our values too heavily and they should develop their own moral frameworks first. We keep having surface-level disagreements about donation amounts when the real issue is how directive we should be about their ethical development.
