โBe kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.โ – Plato. Spreading kindness helps to encourage random acts of kindness throughout our community. Be a role model and show your children how it is done, let them partake in the acts of kindness.
10 ways to spread kindness
1. Stop to give a hand to someone in need.
2. Let a stranger go in front of you in line.
3. Show someone that you appreciate them or are thinking of them with a personal card, flowers, simple gift or a message that will make them smile. Think about someone who has helped you in your life such as a teacher, parent, family member, friend or another child.
4. Make dinner for someone that needs a break or needs food for their family. 5. Donate your blood or donate your unused items or clothing to a charity.
