Ridgeview Review
Week 20 ~ January 19, 2015
The excerpt below is from Edutopia.com (a WONDERFUL website for educators). Take a minute to read through the many reasons that acts of kindness are so important in our students' lives.
Scientific studies prove that kindness has many physical, emotional, and mental health benefits. And children need a healthy dose of the warm-and-fuzzies to thrive as healthy, happy, well-rounded individuals.
Patty O'Grady, PhD, an expert in neuroscience, emotional learning, and positive psychology, specializes in education. She reports:
Kindness changes the brain by the experience of kindness. Children and adolescents do not learn kindness by only thinking about it and talking about it. Kindness is best learned by feeling it so that they can reproduce it.http://www.edutopia.org/blog/teaching-kindness-essential-reduce-bullying-lisa-currie?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=blog-teaching-kindness-essential-reduce-bullying-countdown-image
