The Kindness Advantage: Raising Compassionate Children

Oct 10, 2018

Celebrated psychologist and author Dale Atkins and coauthor, social worker Amanda Salzhauer, join Stacy London for a crucial conversation about how to raise compassionate and connected kids in a world that seems filled with intolerance and divisiveness.

Their new book, The Kindness Advantage, shares the good news that children raised in homes that value giving and compassion grow up to be happier and more positively engaged with the world around them. And it’s never too early to start! Learn how to teach your child empathy, help them learn how to connect with others, and empower them to make a difference in their community and the world.

In homes, schools and communities nationwide, there’s a re-energized interest in finding our way to a kinder culture. And if we want unity, respect and compassion in our national discourse, it has to start at home.
