how to make kindness a daily experience
Practice matters, just like anything else our children learn in school. After all, “practice makes progress” can apply to many things, including building a more kind world. Practice the acts of kindness that are best fitting for you and your family in your own way. Anything from doing household chores to helping with a sibling can be considered an act of kindness. “When these kinds of routine actions are simply expected and not rewarded, they’re more likely to become ingrained in every day actions.” – 7 Tips for Raising Caring Kids by Making Caring Common, a project of the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Remember, there isn’t one correct way to be kind. It is up to us to keep moving forward with kindness and to keep practicing even when we face challenges or adverse circumstances.
“Kindness is more than behavior. The art of kindness means harboring a spirit of helpfulness, as well as being generous and considerate, and doing so without expecting anything in return. Kindness is a quality of being. The act of giving kindness often is simple, free, positive and healthy.” – The Art of Kindness by Mayo Clinic Health System.
