“What is Compassion?” is the title of my activity. I selected this activity because I think that having compassion is a very important skill for young children to have. They need to have this skill because they will meet many people throughout their lives that will have some sort of sickness or disability.

If every child learns about compassion early in their life it will make them a more successful and enjoyable person.
