The Science and Art of Raising Kind Kids -- at the Exploratorium
McBean Theater, 2pm

If raising kind kids were a science, what might the tools and methods look like? What motivates children to be caring or generous? In this interactive presentation, Dr. Christine L. Carter presents the latest in behavioral and social scientific findings along with practical tips for raising kind kids. The mother of two and the Executive Director of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley (http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/), Carter will share research, offer tools, and empower parents, teachers, and caregivers with the knowledge they need to instill altruism in children.
