Nurturing kindness in our children

Doing kind things makes you feel better and It fulfils a basic psychological need, like giving our bodies appropriate food. It helps you feel like your life is valuable. ‘Prosocial behaviour’ comes naturally to some; even children as young as two or three may spontaneously share a treat or toy with an unhappy playmate. But most children need to learn it from the same people who teach them to say “please” and “thank you”, and the earlier in life that happens, the better. prosocial behaviour requires compassion and empathy, the ability to recognise and care about the needs and well-being of others. But compassion without constructive follow-up benefits no one. How kind are you to yourself ?
