As a parent, I've found that some of the toughest lessons to teach my kids are the lessons in emotions. Our son went to a private school for several years before we realized he was being bullied by an adult. We didn't understand some of his emotional reactions to things at home until we discovered the full extent of what was happening at school. Through the whole ordeal, it's has been proven to us that it is much easier to start things right than try to repair them after the fact. Being proactive in teaching your children how to handle their big emotions is something we now strive for, so when I find books that help with that plan I think they're worth sharing. Teaching your child kindness through actions and backing it up with great stories of kindness in action will help you to raise a more mindful child. Check out this new book from Tilbury House Publishers and enter for a chance to win "Henry Is Kind" for your child!
About the Book:
Henry’s discovery of the many ways he can be kind will inspire young readers to use the simple mindfulness practices taught in this book to develop their own capacities for kindness.
Ms. Snowden and her class practice sending kind thoughts to the people they love, and they launch a class Kindness Project. There is only one problem: Henry can’t think of one kind thing he has done. Declaring that kindness is stupid, he stomps to the classroom door on the verge of tears, but his classmates save the day by reminding him of the kind things he has done for each of them.
