Teaching Compassion

My daughter shared an “exercise in encouragement” that she had come across. A local kindergarten teacher had created a way for her students to encourage others - who might be feeling down…











Call a number and hear words of encouragement (from kindergarten children)!

What a great way to teach youngsters compassion for others!

Calling the number - and pressing all the recorded messages - left me wondering: Do we have to be taught - to be encouragers? Or is the ability to lift someone’s spirits with kind words a gift that some have, and others don’t?

Whether it’s natural or not, encouragement does have the power to make the world around us a happier place!
