How to raise a compassionate child
Wednesday, January 3, 2007
• Emily Mihalchik, a Lawrence mother and director of Johnnie Appleseed Preschool, is quoted in a story from Parenting.com, and posted on CNN.com, about how to raise compassionate children.
Speak softly. Your kindness will be a role model for how to treat others. When your child's in pain, be warm and caring. "It's all about the tone in your voice," says Emily Mihalchik, a mom of 2-year-old Sam and director of the Johnnie Appleseed Preschool, in Lawrence, Kansas. If a child's friend is crying, "I say, 'Maybe a hug would be nice,'" says Mihalchik. Young toddlers don't have a very consistent long-term memory, so you'll have to repeat your lessons more times than you thought possible.
