February- Teaching Kindness
Hello all, with it being Valentine's Day and Random Act of Kindness Week we would like to share some info on being kind and teaching kindness with our little learners! Kindness is a tool that can carry you through life in so many ways! Working with your little ones and their siblings at home on ways to be kind can bring about a positive change within your home. Tips for Teaching Kindness at Home: Have family discussions about how families and friends treat each other Have a Kindness Jar: Fill it up with something (cotton balls) when we do something kind and make a family reward when the jar is full! Give Lots of Hugs/ Give Praise to your little ones: When they hear or see you being kind, they will follow! Reinforce manners: Please and Thank You are phrases that can be used all day everyday!! Introduce taking turns while playing family games- or even during family chats! Having your little ones help go through toys, clothes, etc. to share with the less fortunate. S
