It is never to early to start teaching empathy and manners. Being a good role model is the best way to help your little ones learn compassion and kindness. Talk about your feelings, read books about feelings, and ask your child how they would feel in different situations.

Sharing can be really difficult, even for us adults! This site https://pathways.org/getting-preschoolers-share/ has some great ideas on helping preschool aged children learn to share. Remember, it is something that needs to be learned, so be patient and practice, practice, practice!
Marc suggests Killing Crazy Horse by Bill O’Reilly. The book goes in-depth into the Indian Wars, from the United State’s founding to the famous battle that made Custer and Crazy Horse famous. A great read for history buffs and an eye-opening look into the brutality and efficiency of the Westward Expansion.
