Are you looking for ways to support your child’s emotional health?
Teaching kids to be kind is a wonderful and powerful way to protect their mental health and emotional wellbeing. It is one of the greatest gifts a parent could give. In this talk, Becky shows you a variety of ways to teach your children about the power of self-kindness. She also demonstrates how being kind to others and towards the wider world leads to stronger connections and increased happiness.
Drawing on her therapeutic practice and personal experience she will show you how kindness creates a wave of compassion and generosity that can only expand. Becky focuses on kindness as a strength and links acts of kindness to inclusion, positivity, wellness, healing, and joy.
This talk is a call to action for kindness to be placed at the heart of parenting because with kindness we all rise.
