"Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them” – James A. Baldwin
As adults who interact with children at some level or another, we all bear a responsibility to nurture them to be good human beings. Kindness, as we all can agree, is at the heart of being a good human.
In this episode, Saba and Raya discussed the importance of modeling kindness and tolerance for impressionable young minds that soak up everything they witness around them like a sponge in water. We delve into psychosocial concepts that explain why modeling is so vital for children and how we can incorporate good modeling behaviors into our lifestyles.
