Random Acts of Kindness Week
Random Acts of Kindness week is February 13- 17th. This is a special week to promote acts of kindness in your family and community. Below are some great tips for talking about kindness with your child(ren).
Talk About It!
Tell me about a time when someone was kind to you. How did it make you feel?
What do you think kindness means and why is it important?
Who is someone in your class you can be kind to?
What are ways you can be kind to people at home, at school and in the community?
Practice it!
Spend time writing encouraging notes to people in your community. This could be neighbors, police officers, teachers, nursing home residents, firefighters, anyone! Have your child go with you to deliver your notes of kindness.
