TEACH YOUR CHILD COMPASSION, CONCERN & EMPATHY-Avoid "worry about yourself"|Peaceful Discipline

Learn why adults should avoid the phrase "worry about yourself" when guiding children. As parents following Montessori philosophy and peaceful discipline practices we strive to teach our children compassion, concern, and empathy. We want to teach our toddlers and older children that they can be part of the solution to the struggles others have and to be empathetic and understanding of other people's feelings. #teachcompassion #humanunity #we'reallinthistogether Unfortunately the common phrase "worry about yourself" sends quite a different message actively disregarding the child's natural concern for others. This may be because you are concerned your child is judging someone, tattling or not focusing on task at hand. Learn what strategies and phrases you can use instead of "worry about yourself" to send your child the message that their concern is fair and the world needs them to be compassionate and concerned for their community and all who dwell in it.
