Want to start doing acts of kindness with your kids but feeling overwhelmed?
Then start simple!
Don’t underestimate the benefit an intentional act of kindness has for both the giver and receiver. No act of kindness is too small to make a difference in someone’s day.
The truth is you rarely will know how a random act of kindness will impact someone else.
Between our 100 Acts of Kindness and 24 Random Acts of Christmas Kindness initiatives I have been lucky enough to get emails from people all over the world who have been touched by simple acts of kindness. People who have been in the midst of personal hardship and received a simple act of kindness that renewed their faith in the human spirit.
We can’t solve big problems as fast as we’d like to sometimes, but we can show others that we care.
