It is equally important to teach kindness at home as it is to teach kindness in the classroom. Parents and teachers working together to help children understand how to be kind will have a greater impact in making a lasting change. 

Amy Joyce, writer from On Parenting, has an article in the Washington Post that lays out five simple ways parents can cultivate kindness at home. The article Are you raising nice kids? A Harvard psychologist gives 5 ways to raise them to be kind offers great ways to teach children how to be kind, have empathy and care for one another. Be the Change! Be Kind!
Five suggestions by Richard Weissbourd, a Harvard psychologist* 
  1. Make caring for others a priority
  2. Provide opportunities for children to practice caring and gratitude
  3. Expand your child’s circle of concern
  4. Be a strong moral role model and mentor
  5. Guide children in managing destructive feelings

    Note From the Founder

    Hello. I am the founder of the 21 Day Kindness Challenge Program.
    I believe if we focus our efforts on helping our young people develop good character values and teach them how to listen with their hearts their world will be a kinder place to live. It is my hope that my story inspires others to “be the change they want to see in the world.”
