Listen "The Thoughtful Child: Two Simple Daily Exercises | Episode 444"
Episode Synopsis
Do you wish your child considered others more often? Dr. Roger Smith defines thoughtfulness as putting other people's needs on the priority list—a desirable trait we can actively help children develop. This episode gives parents two simple, routine exercises:
Looking Backward (Bedtime): Ask your child to reflect on their day and identify someone they wish they could have helped or made things better for. This encourages empathy and perspective.
Looking Forward (Start of Day/Activity): Challenge your child as they enter a public space (like a store or church) to "look for people you can make smile or make a difference for." This promotes intentional, positive interaction.
Learn how to weave these practices into your daily life to cultivate thoughtfulness and inspire an outward-focused mindset in your kids.
