Teaching kids to be kind : a guide to raising compassionate and caring children / Rachel Tomlinson ; foreword by Dr. Justin Coulson.

Tomlinson, Rachel (Psychologist), (author.).

Summary:

"As a parent, you want the best for your child, and one of your greatest hopes is that your child will grow up to be a good person. So, what makes a good person? Generally, we think about good people as being kind: those who are compassionate, empathetic, generous. However, it seems that, in our fast-paced, individual-driven society, kindness is fading and the pressure on parents to raise socially conscious, empathetic, and caring children can seem overwhelming at times. In Teaching Kids to Be Kind, Rachel Tomlinson draws from her professional experiences to provide 365 inspiring strategies to help children and families practice kindness every day of the year.
