Parenting Lab: Raising Compassionate Kids

As parents, it’s fun to dream about your child growing up to be an Olympic athlete, a brilliant scientist, a successful artist, or the president of the United States. But in reality, most of us actually want our children to grow up to be kind, empathetic, caring people.

Raising compassionate children sounds simple enough; if you are kind and caring, you hope that your little ones will turn out the same. However, research indicates that while children may be wired for good, whether their altruistic tendencies are nurtured as they grow up largely depends on their interactions with people like parents, teachers, and friends.

As we head into the summer months, families might find themselves with more freedom and opportunity to create fun, meaningful moments that build and strengthen compassion in kids. While we want to focus on our kids’ hearts, sometimes we just don’t know how or where to start.

Join us virtually for our next Parenting Lab on Monday, May 7th at 7:00pm for this discussion! This will be an opportunity to share your questions, concerns, ideas, and support with each other. A link to join will be sent on the day of the event.
