Our brains like when we are nice to
others.
When we are nice to others or do nice
things for them, our brains reward us with nice feelings of our own!
Small group activity(in class):
With your small group, I want you to talk
about what:
1.)
Kindness means to you
2.)
What empathy means to you
3.)
What compassion means to you
Can you share specific examples of each
with your group? Can you tell a story of when you felt like someone treated you
or gave you one of the above?
*Please be sure to talk with your child about what each of these topics mean to them!*
What two parts of my brain have to
work together
to help me feel kindness, empathy and compassion? ~ My prefrontal cortex and my amygdala
