The Kindness Advantage Book Talk - A Program for Parents with Amanda Salzhauer & Dale Atkins Tuesday, March 5th 2019 - 7:45pm Frank Nathanson Adult Lounge

Finding our way to a kinder culture - a culture that starts with our families

In homes and school communities nationwide, there is re-energized interest in the values of community, compassion, and tolerance, and in finding our way to a kinder culture. The Kindness Advantage: Cultivating Compassionate and Connected Children is a practical and concrete guide for parents and grandparents to equip a young child with the essential skills to have a positive influence on the world. It’s never too early to start a child on a path of fulfillment through meaningful connection with others. Designed to be read with children as young as four, the book presents ten fundamental concepts to weave into daily life. Additionally, it includes current research in the fields of happiness and child development and real life stories of kids who are making a difference. The Kindness Advantage offers inspiration and activities to encourage empathy, inspire a culture of compassion and connection, and empower children to make a difference in their community.
