Want to Raise Successful Kids? Focus on Kindness Instead, Says Wharton Psychologist
⁣
We want our kids to be successful and caring, but focus too much on the first and create a dearth of the second. Research supports the impact. A University of Michigan study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Review showed that college students showed a dramatic drop in exhibiting kindness and empathy over a 30 year period (from 1979 to 2009).⁣
⁣
The truth is that success and kindness aren't mutually exclusive pursuits. In fact, focusing on the latter generates the former. Grant says that "quite a bit of evidence suggests that children who help others end up achieving more than those who don't", and that includes in the workplace. A study by the Center for Creative Leadership shows that empathy is a critical driver of performance and overall effectiveness for a leader.⁣
⁣
‘When you're consistent about the importance of showing kindness and just as persistent in pointing out the impact for the absence thereof, you help form habits. And remember, these kindness habits lead to success. So if you want your child to be entrepreneurial or professionally successful, focus on kindness and you'll get success right along with it.’ ⁣ - Adam Grant
