Above All, Be Kind

Above All, Be Kind: Raising a Humane Child in Challenging Times by Zoe Weil

Price: $16.15 | More about this book



It’s not easy to raise children to know who they are and what is truly important in life.


Today’s culture assaults young people with messages that not only steer them away from humane living but also endorse destructive habits and behaviors. As you strive to lead your children – or help others - on a peaceful, productive path, you’re up against an onslaught of negative influences.

How can you help children be happy, self-confident and caring while creating a better world?

You need a guide you can trust.


Above All, Be Kind shows you how to teach children to be humane in the broadest sense: not only to become more compassionate towards family and friends, but also to make choices that demonstrate respect for the environment, other species and all people.

There is a way to change the world.


Imagine that the next generation has the commitment and skills to solve the most pressing challenges of our time. Above All Be Kind helps parents and other adults like you nurture that generation to become more aware, compassionate and empowered.
