Albert Einstein, who is known as an intellectual genius once said, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” In fact, many individuals who are seen as ‘intellectuals’ were often described as curious. Do you know what other group of people are described as curious…children.
For this week's episode of A Child's Life we explore how to nurture curiosity in children.

A Child's Life is aired weekly on Radio Turks and Caicos. In this week's episode I explored the topic of kindness and compassion. We have so much going on in our world today that we must wonder whether we are forgetting the importance of basic principles such as kindness and compassion. Take a listen to this week's episode for some tips on how to teach kindness and compassion in your young children. 

Challenges are a great way to kick-start new desired behaviors. Each month I will begin the month with a 7 day challenge to get you thinking and moving. This months challenge is a Kindness Challenge. Here are 7 days worth of Kindness Challenges to get you going!

Day 1: Tell someone why you admire them.
Day 2: Send a thank you note or email to a colleague.
Day 3: Donate something today.
Day 4: Call a family member "just because"
Day 5: Let someone go ahead of you in line.
Day 6: Buy a coffee or smoothie for a friend.
Day 7: Pass along an article or video to a friend that could benefit from it.

A few months ago, I began a once a week feature where I highlighted a 'Book of the Week.' The goal of this was to encourage my community of parents and learners to do more reading. 

I have loved having book chats with those of you who have bene reading along with me. I look forward to this continuing!

From this month, I will move to a 'Book of the Month.' I am personally quite excited that Oprah has began her Book Club again, and decided to make my October book "The Water Dancer" by Ta-Nehisi Coats. For those of you wanting to be part of a community of readers, visit Oprah's book club on Instagram or Facebook and stay tuned to her interviews with Ta-Nehisi Coates!
