Pathways to Kindness: Nurturing Prosocial Development in Early Childhood with Professor Ruth Speidel from the Department of Psychology

Children show exceptional potential for kindness and care, or prosociality, from a young age.

Early positive potential is important because prosocial development impacts well-being, social harmony, and peace positively at the individual, community, and global level. In this lecture, Professor Speidel will explore the factors that help children grow into caring individuals and how adversity, like trauma and stress, can affect this growth.
