Developing Mindsets for Compassion and Caring

Dr. Robert Brooks, author of the book Raising Resilient Children, is a strong advocate for the role of caring adults in the lives of children. Even the smallest gestures of kindness, dignity and respect for students – a smile and calling them by name at the door – help create an environment in which all students feel welcomed and accepted. Learn more about the lessons Brooks draws from his research on resilience in How to Develop Mindsets for Compassion and Caring in Students in this article from KQED News.
