Teaching your kids love and compassion is a gift that keeps giving. 

Compassion teaches us about empathy and can improve our relationships with ourselves and others. Through that, children can build character and self-confidence. Fostering compassion in children is also one of the best ways to prevent bullying. With compassion, kids decision-making will be rooted in a deep, caring ethic. 

How can we teach our kids about compassion?

• I Love Myself: Use this lesson plan to promote inner love.
