Kids can do random acts of kindness too!
Send your kids to school and challenge them to do random acts of kindness for a day. See how much satisfaction they derive from knowing they did something for others. They’ll quickly learn that everyone benefits when students, schools, and communities embrace kindness.
Here is a list of suggestions of small acts of kindness we can encourage our children to do through out the school day.
1. Hold the door open for someone
2. Compliment a classmate
3. Smile at 5 individuals in the hall
4. Share your snack with someone
