Teaching children the merits of being kind


THE push to develop an empathy and emotional intelligence module for schools as part of the #Stand Together National Kindness Week campaign will resonate with many Malaysian parents, teachers, students and the Education Department, “Push to get kindness in curriculum” (The Star, Feb 24).

With at least 84% of Malaysian children experiencing some form of bullying before they turn 18, the campaign’s objective of inculcating kindness and empathy in children is a most worthy effort that should be strongly supported by all stakeholders.
