COMPASSION

Growing strong character and stronger families - one patch at a time.

Raising Compassionate Kids

Compassionate children notice when others are hurting and choose to help. We recommend choosing a timeline to focus on this attribute (a week, a month, etc.) And prioritizing intentional, doable tasks to cultivate Compassion together!

HOW TO ENCOURAGE COMPASSION WITH YOUR CHILD

Help them notice emotions in others: "How do you think she felt when that happened?"
Model compassion in your daily life - let them see you helping neighbors, friends, or strangers
Sponsor a child in need and involve your child in the process
Send them off to school by saying "I am compassionate!" together
