Compassion is a feeling of concern for others that goes beyond the self. Children are programmed from birth to be self focussed, as it's a necessary survival trait.
To learn how to feel empathy for others is important for children to be able to develop kindness, gratitude and happiness within themselves.
In our 'Create' collection, we have deliberately included a RANGE of charities to choose from - with the child in the driver's seat, it becomes their choice and therefore, thought and understanding about what motivates their compassion, is required.
Our chosen charities are both people and planet focussed, so they are able to have a voice in matters that they connect to most, and be able to do something about it.
After their doll arrives, it also acts as a reminder of their empathy and caring for years to come.
