How to raise a kind child

▤ Summary

Science demonstrates that being kind: • Boosts both serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters in the brain that give us a good sense of wellbeing or satisfaction. There is the story of a child who was unable to regulate his feelings effectively in his pre-school, and as a result, was lashing out to both children and teachers. Co-regulation is the key word here, where children are helped through stormy, unpleasant feelings back to calm again, with loving strategies, over and over again. Let’s go and help her up.” Remember that by the age of 4-5, most children are able to see different perspectives of others in familiar situations, i.e. know that a sibling is cold because they are not wearing a coat. Stories are a powerful vehicle for building kindness and empathy because children can clearly see and understand other people’s perspectives in an engrossing context that they enjoy.
