This month’s Leadworthy Character Trait is Kindness.

What is Kindness?

Kindness is the ability and willingness to express care and compassion for others. Kindness is a choice to use our time, talent, and resources to better the lives of others and the world through genuine acts of love, compassion, generosity, and service.

Why focus on Kindness?

• Kindness boosts positive emotions. Acts of kindness create neural pathways that enhance feelings of well-being and the natural flow of feel-good endorphins and neurotransmitters.
• Kindness is self-replicating. When we perform an act of kindness, it is likely to encourage others to act in a similar way.
• Kindness reduces stress and anxiety. Kindness promotes positive relationships with other people. Anything that helps you to build bonds with other people helps decrease anxiety.

Kindness in Action:

• Celebrate small things. Start each day with Good Things. Publicly and privately affirm kind and thoughtful actions and attitudes.
• Create opportunities for students to regularly affirm each other. Once a week, dedicate time for students to write notes of affirmation to others.
• Model Kindness. Be mindful of body language, tone, and mindset. Kindness is learned by example.
