Listening with My Heart: A Story of Kindness and Self-Compassion
Listening with My Heart:
A Story of Kindness and Self-Compassion
Paperback – October 14, 2017
by Gabi Garcia (Author), Ying Hui Tan (Illustrator)
Kindness matters! Especially towards ourselves.
When Esperanza finds a heart-shaped rock, she sees it as a reminder to spread kindness and love in the world. But when the school play doesn't go as planned, will she remember to show kindness to herself?
We talk to kids a lot about how to be friends with others but less about how to be friends with themselves.
Yet when kids show themselves empathy and understanding, especially when they make mistakes, it helps build their emotional resilience, growth mindset, and sense of well-being.
Listening with My Heart reminds us of the other golden rule-- to treat ourselves with the same understanding and compassion we give to others. It also touches on the universal themes of friendship and inclusion.
Listening with My Heart includes kid-friendly mindfulness and self-compassion activities that support the book’s message. It’s a beautiful addition to your home or school social-emotional library!
