Summer Episode 6: What we know about the volunteerism of kids
This is the final mini summer episode of Talking About Kids. In it, I share some statistics about kids that are related to the Positive Indicators Project's measures of kids "Helping Others to Flourish" that I described in the previous episode. To help us through the stress and fear-mongering of this political season, I share some encouraging statistics about kids and volunteerism. Links to some of the research I cite are at talkingaboutkids.com. Full-length Talking About Kids episodes return next week with a very special guest!
