5 Ways To Raise Kind Kids

Is it possible to educate your child to be kind? As our culture becomes more harsh and divided, this critical subject takes on additional significance. We all want our children to be good people. That, however, is not the same as understanding what to do if your child mocks a classmate who is trying to fit in. Dr. Thomas Lickona, a world-renowned developmental psychologist, has been at the forefront of the character education movement in schools for the past 40 years, and now he's giving parents the skills they need to foster a culture of kindness at home. Kindness isn't enough by itself. Other fundamental values such as self-control, excellent judgment, bravery, and thankfulness are needed as well. So many elements in our culture promote selfishness that raising good children is difficult. How to Raise Kind Kids will help you give and receive respect, hold family meetings to address persistent problems, set up age-appropriate chores, deal with sibling cruelty, discipline in a way that builds character, and improve the dynamic of your relationship with your children while putting them on the path to a happier and more fulfilling life.
