Random Acts of Kindness Wreath

Sit down with your child and talk about things that would be nice to do for others.  Your child will probably surprise you with the ideas that they’d like to do. Discuss which ones are truly possible and try to pick 10 of your favorites.

Some Final Thoughts

All of these Random Acts of Kindness are ways to encourage our children to think of others, reach out into our community and foster kindness in their hearts.

In a society where we share concern over our children’s well being and fear of bullying in their lives, it’s important to give our children tools to express empathy and reach out to others.  Through these fun acts of kindness they just might also find the pure joy in surprising others.
