Dubs Goes to Washington... and Discovers the Greatness of America is a book that teaches young children their first patriotic lessons. The star of the book is Dubs, our adorable golden retriever. Dubs has lost his beloved tennis ball in Washington, D.C. Your kids and grandkids - and, in fact, all kids from 4-8 - will love helping Dubs find it - and, in the process, will discover what makes America such an exceptional nation. We decided to write this book because we couldn’t find books for our young friends that teach them about our great country, our important institutions, and our heroes. Too often, our schools and publishers ignore these important subjects or relegate them to adults. But, as we all know, you’re never too young to be a patriot! Dubs Goes to Washington... gives parents and grandparents the perfect vehicle for introducing our patriotic heritage to children aged four to eight. This delightful history and civics lesson will be a favorite bedtime story for your family. Kids will learn a little about our founding fathers, our patriotic traditions, the message of our national monuments, and the importance of our war heroes who fought for our freedom. These beautifully illustrated lessons show some of the things that make America an exceptional nation. And it’s fun for kids, too. Dubs’ yellow tennis ball is hidden in each of the drawings, and kids have to search to find it. We know you're proud of what makes America great. Now you and Dubs can remind your little ones of our cultural and historical foundations. Take a trip through Washington with Dubs! Read more

How to teach empathy in children? What is the difference between empathy and sympathy? “Empathy and Parenting: teaching empathy with children - Empathy training with empathy exercises “, based on "A course in Happiness", is a training in empathy for parents, teachers, educators, etc. who want to facilitate empathy in children. ”Empathy and Parenting: teaching empathy with children - Empathy training with empathy exercises” comes with selected empathy exercises.
While the way children understand the intellectual meaning, and implications, of empathy varies from case to case, a straightforward approach makes everything easier to relate to. For example, show a few pictures of people who clearly look happy, bored, suprised, etc and ask children to identify what these people are feeling. Then, show pictures of people waiting for a bus, looking at their watch, etc. and ask children to identify what these people are likely to be thinking. Then, just explain that is empathy: the capacity of understanding what other people feel and think. Explain that we all have this capacity for empathy, and that it gets better and better when cultivated with determination. Show pictures of happy kids in groups, playing together, listening to each other, etc. and explain that kids who are empathic are better at understanding their own feelings and the ones of peers, parents, teachers, etc. This resulting in people liking even more to communicate with them, at the advantage of everyone's happiness.

About the author
Frank is Italian, has spent most of his adult life in North America, England and Estonia, and travelling around the World. He settled in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. He is a Dharma instructor, currently furthering his knowledge by attending Amida Trust's training about Buddhist psychology and its therapeutic applications; has been coaching and working in eCommunication since late 1995; he also studied business and graduated in International Relations and Diplomacy.
Traveling around the World and meeting different cultures, he understood what we need to be happy is already available here and now; we just need to look and see the context with open eyes. He also think that life is the ultimate koan, with hints can be found both within and outside one's tradition, and the final answer lies only within oneself – or the lack of it as understood in the conventional way.
