Character trait for December
Kindness is a behavior that involves being generous, considerate, and helpful to others without expecting anything in return. It can also mean putting others' needs before your own.
Kindness can be good for your mental health and overall well-being. It can increase serotonin and dopamine, which are neurotransmitters in the brain.
Here are some ways you can model kindness:
- Talk about why you're being helpful to others
- Point out things you notice about others
- Brainstorm together about things you can do to help
- Make "If ___, then ___" plans to support habit formation
