30-Day Acts of Kindness Challenge

Sometimes it feels like we could all be a little kinder. Parents are one of the biggest influences on children and can play a significant role in how they treat others. Our children watch what we do, and follow in our footsteps. They depend on us to show them how to be caring and help others, and no matter how old your child is, now is the perfect time to start teaching them how to be kind.

Doing acts of kindness will not only show our kids how to be kind to others but also how to help others. By doing these small and simple acts of kindness with your kids, you will not only teach them about compassion but also how easy it is to be kind to others.

Random acts of kindness are not just a way to give back to those who need something a little extra during a hard time, but also a way to spread our wealth and joy to other people. Our children need to learn the power being kind to one another can bring, and how it has an impact on everyone. One simple act of kindness can make someone else’s entire day better, and can even help change someone’s life.
