Altruism refers to behavior that benefits another individual at a cost to oneself.

So, an example would be giving your lunch to a friend who doesn’t have any. Or helping a family member with their struggles. Another example would be giving a kid your toy during recess even though you don’t have any other.

Answer:

For example, parents and other family members often engage in acts of sacrifice in order to provide for the needs of family members. Reciprocal altruism: This type of altruism is based on a mutual give and take relationship. It involves helping another person now because they may one day be able to return the favor.
