The Sesame Street one is my favorite! I also love Mister Rogers' "You Are My Friend!"
Devany, I LOVE that one too, but cannot find the official song to share.
So fun! We are going to listen to these today!
What a great collections of kindness songs! I can't wait to listen to them with our kids.
Lovely collection of songs – I've only heard the sesame street one so some new ones for us.
Thanks ladies! My kids have had some squabbles lately. Just today, they started arguing and I said, "Let's play one of the kindness songs to remind us of sharing and kind words." Worked like a charm!
I love the Being Kind video. Music is such a powerful teaching tool.
