Children these days are losing steam quite early in life. Desire and pleasure seem to top their to do list. They are witness to and sometimes even victims of horrific crimes. Why then are schools doing away with value education?

In our cover story this month, we ask our readers an important question. Should human values like kindness and compassion be confined to the weekly once moral science classes alone? And in some cases not even that. Kindness will not be imbibed by children only by listening to stories or moral lessons. Adults around them have to practice kindness ever day. We have to lead by example to show them the beauty of this wonderful value.

Human beings are born with the ability to feel or “mirror” another’s pain. It is this quality in us that makes us different from other animals.

Let us consciously build exercises and create an environment to make practicing kindness a habit.
