We've heard the above saying about kindness, but sometimes I
think we need to be reminded of it. One
area we as parents try to teach our kids is to be kind to others. Our daughter is often heard saying “Share, you need to share” while talking to our
granddaughter.
Working with teenagers, we realize they are very egocentric
and are not always kind to each other.
However, it’s important we teach them when things don’t go their way,
they still can practice kindness. In
order to teach our kids, we need to model it for them. The students who succeed are those who see adults modeling positive values.
Be a good role model. Let your kids see you practice kindness this week. It really does go a long way.
Goodness is about character -
integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More
than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.
No act of kindness, no matter
how small, is ever wasted.
