Can I Tell You About Compassion

Meet Sam. Like most kids his age, Sam loves sport. His class have arranged a special football match to raise money for a charity which helps children who are suffering. Sam finds out more about how the money is spent and asks his mum for this week∠s pocket money early, so he can donate to the charity. His mum says he does this because he∠s such a kind boy. But when he asks his teachers about it at school the next day, they say it∠s because he∠s compassionate. Sam now has lots of questions about what this means. What is compassion? How can we become more compassionate? And what effects – both good and bad – does being compassionate have? Join Sam as he learns answers to these, and many more, questions about this important part of character education.
