Frontiers in Health & Happiness Season 3 Episode 3 Streaming Now
What if raising happier, healthier children starts with teaching them to care beyond their inner circle?
In this episode of Frontiers in Health and Happiness, host Ayla Fudala speaks with Richard Weissbourd, Senior Lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Director of the Making Caring Common Project, about how parents, educators, and communities can help young people become caring, moral, and thriving.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How empathy, perspective-taking, and moral identity shape children’s development
- Why achievement and happiness can sometimes crowd out caring
- How focusing too much on children’s moment-to-moment emotions can backfire
- How families and schools can help children expand their “circle of concern”
- Why caring across difference is essential for well-being, community, and democracy
