Showed this video to a friend and she said that laughter is the best way to improve relationships🧡

Maybe shared laughter which is rooted in love can improve relationships, but scorning, shaming, mocking laughter is often used to curtail behavior without compassion or understanding.

There is no objective ‘better’ just a subjective interpretation of a ‘better’.

I think our lack of selflessness is in part cultural but also financial. People have less time and money to invest in others.

The irony is that when I was homeless, it was poor people who helped far more than middle or upper class people. And as soon as I got even a little bit stable, I started giving back & paying it forward to the best of my ability. In my experience, those who have very little are much more generous than those who have a lot.

@@BonnieShadow33that may be true but hard to make generalizations from just ones experience. For example I had a family member who as well of who spent a lot of his free time helping tutor people for free because he wasn’t tight on time and finances. I’ve also known poor people who are only takers and yet are still poor. Same applies on the opposite end.

This is such an important conversation 🙌 From a psychological perspective, children thrive when achievement is grounded in emotional intelligence and empathy. Kindness and the ability to recognize others’ emotions not only deepen relationships but also build the resilience and self-worth that high achievement alone can’t provide. In the end, raising caring humans is the true measure of success. 💖

This is such an important conversation! I love how it highlights the need to balance achievement with kindness and empathy.
In my experience as an Early Childhood Educator, children thrive most when they feel valued for who they are, not just for what they accomplish.
