Harvard VPAL Webinar | The Good Life
What happens when parents’ and schools’ day-to-day messaging stresses children’s achievement and happiness over caring?
Making Caring Common’s research shows that this hyperfocus not only makes children less likely to think of others and the collective but also compromises both their achievement and happiness.
In a recent presentation for Harvard’s Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning (VPAL), Making Caring Common Director Richard Weissbourd shared how parents and educators can close this gap and better help young people find purpose and meaning in their lives.
