“Instead of asking your child what they learned today, ask them who they helped today.”

Simplified Meaning:

When parents ask kids about helping others instead of just what they learned, it teaches kindness and empathy. Imagine a child who, instead of simply talking about math homework, shares a moment where they helped a classmate pick up their dropped books. This conversation shift shows the importance of being considerate and supportive of others. Encouraging kids to think about how they can assist friends or family members can build a habit of looking out for people who might need a hand. This approach can make them more caring adults, as they'll grow used to noticing ways to help in everyday situations. So, instead of focusing solely on academic achievements, focusing on helping others can lead to more compassionate, well-rounded individuals.
