As a Kindness Central Member
In 1994, the original Kindness Campaign and the Kind and Safe School Initiative were created by Dr. Barry Weinhold as a part of the Colorado Institute for Conflict Resolution. Over about a six-year period, the Campaign spread to 13 cities and eventually to over 700 schools in the U.S. and Canada. The results of these programs were a measurable reduction in bullying and put-downs in schools and communities.
Since then, multiple organizations have taken up the project of spreading kindness. Kindness Central has been formed to bring Kindness Leaders and Organizations together to share best practices and success stories.
In this book, Dr. Weinhold states, “It is important to identify why you do what you do, say what you say and feel what you feel by increasing your psychological intelligence.” Studies show that people who have many unhealed adverse childhood experiences, caused by traumas, suffer from many more degenerative diseases and have a shorter life span. Barry proclaims, “It isn’t the good who die young, it is the uninformed who die young, because they do not understand their own psychological processes.”
This book shows you how to move out of overusing your False Self and strengthening your True Self. Your False Self shows up in two very different ways: as a deflated or depressed False Self and an inflated or narcissistic False Self.
The two most prevalent reasons they have trouble resolving their conflicts: A lack of an understanding of how past unresolved conflicts and unhealed traumas “bleed through” and make it more difficult to resolve their current conflicts, and a lack of skills in conflict resolution.
Within this model, individuals are encouraged to see those with whom they are experiencing conflict as partners and to identify conflict as an opportunity for personal and relational transformation.
They say the first five years are the formative years and give you a foundation for the rest of your life. However, if you had conflicts that were not resolved or traumas you didn’t heal during that time, you will have cracks in your foundation that will make your adult life less successful than it could have been.
