Your FREEBIE is on the way to your INBOX…but while you wait, you will LOVE this:

Wish your had MORE resources to help kids speak and act with kindness MORE often? 

Teasing and nastiness and cruelty doesn’t have to be the norm.

We don’t need to tolerate a “kids will be kids” mentality.   

Kindness is a learned behavior, and we can intentionally teach kids to be kind. 

So, we can set kids up to: 

✔️ Be compassionate, empathetic, helpful, kind-hearted, mindful of others, and friendly

✔️  Be a real, true friend who follows The Golden Rule

✔️ Stay kind even when others are not kind and stand up for others and themselves when needed

✔️   Avoid unnecessary conflict with siblings, friends, teammates, and classmates

These Kindness Resources will help make that happen:

Help kids be the kindest version of themselves with this Kindness Promise, because when kids make a promise to themselves to be kinder, they tend to keep that promise.

This Give Me 5 Kindness Activity uses kindness affirmations and a fun hands-on kindness craft you can do three ways to remind kids to act and speak with kindness more often.

You don’t have to spend your days being a referee to kids’ behavior. 

Kids don’t have to fight, bicker, compete, put down, and belittle others.

You can have calmer, happier, more peaceful days. 

❤️And it starts with kind kids.❤️

Why Character Education Resources are Essential:

  • Some children are inheritently kind, and some need help being kind. These resources reinforce kindness and support kids who need it.
  • Children need to be reminded daily to speak and act with kindness. Kindness is not a “one and done” conversation or activity.
  • When we consistently make kindness a topic kids hear about often, it “sinks in” and becomes more of a habit. 
  • Children need to be inspired and encouraged to take action because kindness is a verb…it’s something we do.  
  • Some kids need to work on their inner thoughts and mindset… which will change what they say…which will change how they act. Believing they are capable of kind is important to making it happen.

Kids can speak and act with kindness more often, with less reminders from us. But we have to set them up for success first.
