How To Instill Kindess in your child

3/6/2019

 
Talk about different emotions - You can find these moments with your child while engaging in activities such as reading a book or watching a movie in which the characters experience a range of emotions (positive and negative). Research shows an important link between parents who encourage their children to talk about emotions and helpful behaviors.
Provide opportunities to give others a turn - While young children are naturally inclined to help others, research shows that altruistic (helping) behaviors are strongly influenced by social interactions. Playing games that involve turn taking or back-and-forth actions (rolling a ball back and forth) can increase children’s tendency to help others.
Encourage empathy - Children are more likely to be kind to others when they can take the perspective of others. Encourage your children to think about how others feel when they see someone experiencing a positive or negative emotion (How do you think she feels after losing her teddy bear?).
Be the example they need - Imitation is a powerful mode of learning, especially in early childhood. When children see their parents and others around them help, share, and be kind to others, they are more likely to model those behaviors. So, use daily interactions as teachable moments to demonstrate kindness to reinforce what you are teaching your child at home.
