Raising Compassionate Kids

Voices of Compassion

Join host Cindy Lopez and her guests as they discuss how a family culture of compassion can really open hearts and minds. Therapist Kendra Fraka and Occupational Therapist, Vibha Pathak draw from their professional experiences working with kids of all ages and raising their own children - to help us cultivate a compassionate and unjudging community, starting at home. No surprise here: compassion starts with us.

In this episode, Kendra, Vibha and Cindy share about expanding a sense of fairness among siblings, seeing the meaning behind online/digital behavior and how noticing differences among us can contribute to mindfulness. They also share specific strategies to teach compassion and discuss the link between compassion and mental health.
