The Kindness Advantage: Cultivating Compassionate and Connected Children

The Kindness Advantage: Cultivating Compassionate and Connected Children, authored by Dr. Dale Atkins, Ph.D. and Amanda R. Salzhauer, MSW, is a practical compassion book for parents to teach their children empathy and compassion, how to impact and influence others, and cultivate what matters. We all benefit when children are raised with the understanding that they can impact and influence others by making conscious choices. It's never too early to start your child on a path of fulfillment through meaningful connection with others. Designed to be read with children as young as 4 years, Dale Atkins and Amanda Salzhauer offer 10 fundamental concepts to weave into your family's daily life. Using text, quotes, questions and real life stories, The Kindness Advantage is the first compassion book parents need to think about when teaching the necessary skills to be a kind, and yes, compassionate person. Each idea on its own is simple and unintimidating, yet together they form the powerful foundation that parents need - extending beyond teaching "please" and "thank you" - to teach empathy and kindness habits to their children that will last a lifetime.
