TEACH KIDS TO BE KIND

Empathy is the true essence of the human spirit. It is the ability to recognise, feel, and respond to the needs and suffering of others. It facilitates the expression of caring, compassion, and kindness. Teach your children kindness and empathy, and you’ve given them a gift that lasts a lifetime.

Raising kind kids is more important than raising successful kids, experts say. Adam Grant, organizational psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, urges parents to emphasise caring and kindness to their children.

“The evidence is clear that in the long run, the kids who achieve the greatest success are not the ones who faced a ton of pressure to get straight A’s,” Adam said in a Wbur report. “They’re the ones who were taught to be concerned about others and show compassion.”
