Being Kind

PBS Kids - For Parents

Being kind is a skill that we can practice just like math, science, or reading. It starts by helping our children recognize when a friend or family member is upset or needs help. Then, we can encourage kind behavior by suggesting ways to be kind and compassionate — and make the situation better. (“Miss Whitney next door fell and sprained her wrist. Ouch! Let’s water her flowers for her until she feels better.” “Hmmm, it seems like your little brother might be feeling left out of our game of catch. Let’s ask him to play with us — or find something we all want do!”)

Help your child learn to be kind by reading picture books about compassion, pointing out when someone is kind to you and your family, and encouraging your child to explore all the wonderful ways we can be nice to others using the Daniel Tiger and Arthur activities below!
