Be a kind and good person is what we hope for all our children, but like anything we don't come fully equipped with those skills. There are many ways we can help students learn to be kind. The first and most important is to always model kindness, that makes it spread like wildfire. You can also emphasize the importance of friendship and asking for and accepting help. For some students this will come very naturally for others it will be a bit of a struggle. If you continue to assert that we are all in this together, students will often feel much more comfortable and come around quicker. These worksheets will have students look at many different situations to help them better develop their interpersonal skills.

How to Inspire Kindness in Children


Here are some ways to inspire kindness in children.


Make Helping A Classroom Affair


It is very important to bring acts of kindness to the classroom if you want to teach your students about kindness. It is best to start with kids at an early age. You can encourage kids to help each other in any possible way. Teach them to look for opportunities to be of help to others. You can also appreciate the small acts of kindness. It has been proved that appreciation leads towards more good behavior.


Teach Respect For The Earth


When you are teaching the kids about kindness, it is important that you do not miss out on the most important thing; respect for the earth. We live on this planet, it is our home. Just like we do efforts to keep our home in a good shape, we should do efforts for the earth as well. Teach the children that they should never litter the earth. Also, teach them about the process of recycling. Assign some fun recycling activities to the kids.


Assign Chores


Responsible people are always more kind. It is important to teach responsibility to the children if you want them to be kind. You can give them duties or chores that they should take as their responsibilities.


Teach Teamwork


Teamwork is a great way that encourages kindness. You get to work with people you might not get along with. But the end goal of everyone is the same, to deliver the best. Assign some fun activities with teamwork.


Cheer Up Friends


One of the best acts of kindness is to make someone laugh when they are sad. Teach the kids to never miss out on the opportunity to cheer someone up. Tell them if they ever find a class fellow who seems low, they should cheer them up with their ideas.


Give Thanks


Gratitude is a great act of kindness. Teach the children to say thanks to everyone who helps them. They can say thanks to the school janitor, teacher, or even friends.
