Kindness has been the topic of discussion in my classroom lately. Here are 5 reasons (shared) that we should be kind to one another!
1. Being Kind Feels Good
Doing something for someone else's makes us feel good. Make someone smile and you'll be happy for having done so.
2. Kindness is for free
Kindness is something we can all engage in, anytime and anywhere. Kindness is a choice. You don't have to donate rare items to make someone happy, but in every single situation you have the choice to choose to act with kindness.
3. Kindness makes people want you to be around them
One of the most common responses to kindness is gratitude. People appreciate what you've done for them. Your kindness is very attractive, so they want to be around you.

4.Kindness makes a difference
It's up to us to make the community nicer with every kind act we do, because when you are kind to others, the impact of your action doesn't stop there. Many times the recipient of your kindness and others who see or hear about your kindness are inspired to be kinder.
5.Kindness softens our heart
When we look for kind deeds, beauty, and the opportunity for kindness, we'll find that we are more compassionate and more tolerant. As we practice empathy, it opens our heart to others.
Here is a video to share with your students. Start a discussion, be compassionate, and remember that you don't always know what another person is going through. If you are kind you might have just changed their day!
