Harvard’s 7 Strategies For Raising Caring Children

3. Make caring for others a priority and set high ethical expectations

Why: It is important for your child to hear you value them and their ability to care for others. Most parents think this, but they forget to communicate it to their children.

How: Remind children daily that you value them choosing what’s right over what’s fun. Ask teacher and parents about how well your child is caring for others. Encourage commitment- let children learn to work it out rather than quit.
