Today I'm excited because I get to talk about one of my favorite topics: empathy!
If you've been a reader at the Corner for a while, then you know about the Becoming A Better You series by Marian Nelson and Kris Yankee. I'm so so delighted to share that I've had a sneak peek at book #3 and its meaningful message makes it well worth the wait. It's due out next week; click the graphic above for more info and/or to pre-order.

It's a litany of ideas and examples through which children can stretch their empathy.

At home, in school, in their communities.
Through acts of kindness and service.
By working to understand one another's feelings.

in our future leaders. We must teach empathy so students can cultivate compassion and practice kindness.
Here's a wonderful quick clip that will complement this text:
