Join host Cindy Lopez and her guests as they discuss how a family culture of compassion can really open hearts and minds. Therapist Kendra Evans 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.
