Valentine's Day Flash Cards

Teaching your kids love and compassion is a gift that keeps giving. 

Compassion teaches us about empathy and can improve our relationships with ourselves and others. Through that, children can build character and self-confidence. Fostering compassion in children is also one of the best ways to prevent bullying. With compassion, kids decision-making will be rooted in a deep, caring ethic. 

How can we teach our kids about compassion? 

Compassion is a quality that children can learn over time and through practice. We developed three lesson plans so your young yogis can foster love and compassion in three ways:

• I Love Myself: Use this lesson plan to promote inner love.
• I Love My Community: Build love, trust, and kindness with friends and family through this lesson plan. 
• I Love My Planet: Use this lesson plan to build gratitude and love for our planet!

In our Educator’s edition, we provide 3 easy-to-follow curriculums for teachers, parents, and anyone else that works with tweens/teens. Each lesson plan is formatted to teach an entire class, including discussion prompts, group activities, yoga movement, guided relaxations, crafts, and coloring pages.
