“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.” Jack Kornfield
"Dog Finds a Magic Plant"- Dog found her Inner Star Power of kindness when she used kindness to help a small magical plant grow. However, the plant helped her discovered that she was being kind to everyone but herself. When she showed kindness to herself, the plant grew strong and beautiful. Reminding your child to be kind to themselves includes encouraging them to identify their emotions rather than begin swept up in them, acknowledging that failure is part of being human, and teaching them to care for their heart and body as they would for a friend. Researcher Kristin Neff of the University of Texas at Austin, defines self-compassion as “mindfulness of your own thoughts and feelings, a sense of a common humanity and treating yourself kindly.”
Learning the skill of kindness toward oneself (or self-compassion) helps our children become stronger and more resilient in the face of challenges.
