Ever wonder how to teach a child empathy? Teaching children kindness and instilling compassion in children is a noble cause and that is exactly what we are discussing in today’s episode. Before we explore how to raise a child with good manners, it is important to question how to teach compassion to a child. It is compassion in children that will bring about their best behavior, not good ”training.” Children learn kindness and compassion first by receiving it, then by having it modeled, and then by feeling it so deeply that it’s their natural response. In today’s discussion, we talk about how we can approach our children with compassion, how books about compassion for kids can be extremely helpful, and ways in which we can promote acts of kindness that will multiply starting from the home and the family dynamic.
