SOME AMAZING THINGS TO NOTICE IN YOUR CHILD

Parents now is a great time to share something special you notice about your child

How else can we foster kindness??

1. Model Kind Behavior
Show Kindness in daily Interactions: Let your child see you performing acts of kindness, whether it's helping a neighbor, being polite to a cashier, or comforting a friend.

2. Acknowledge Kindness: When your child acts kindly point their attention to it and let them know you're proud of them

3. Foster Empathy: Discuss Feelings. Talk about emotions regularly, helping your child understand and articulate their own feelings and those of others.

4. Storytelling: Use books and stories to discuss characters’ feelings and motivations, fostering empathy through literature.

5. Teach Conflict Resolution. Demonstrate how to resolve conflicts calmly and respectfully & encourage apologies and forgiveness

6. Engage in Cooperative Activities: Involve your child in activities that require cooperation and teamwork, emphasizing the importance of working together kindly.

7. Practice Gratitude: Encourage your child to keep a gratitude journal, noting things they are thankful for and reflecting on acts of kindness they have experienced or share moments of gratitude before bed or at the dinner table

8. Thank You Notes: Help them write thank you notes to express appreciation to others.
