The Season of Giving,
and of Getting, approaches, and I was
recently shared on this rather interesting Christmas-themed video. It shows how the way we talk about things
shapes subsequent behaviours and choices; in particular, that children behave
differently, and rather more generously after a conversation about giving than they do after a
conversation about getting. It is a theme of mine that we humans are
acutely responsive to subtle nudges, and a pretty important message for parents
and teachers is that the style and type of conversations we have should
sometimes be intentional and planned.
Ho, ho, ho!
