How to teach kids kindness over achievements

Research shows teaching kids kindness over achievements will actually set them up for success later in life. Host Lindsay Aerts and Emily Bell McCormick of the Policy Project (https://thepolicyproject.org/) discuss ways to teach your kids to be kind. They discuss the findings in this article from The Atlantic. (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/12/stop-trying-to-raise-successful-kids/600751/). Modeling the behavior and praising kind acts instead of good grades or sports scores are a couple of ways to teach kindness the two discuss. See our website for privacy information.
