In honor of National Random Acts of Kindness Day on Sunday, I thought it would be a great time to share 25 Acts of Kindness for Kids. Kevin and I really want to instill a heart of service and compassion in our kids and practicing kindness is such a great way to do this. There are so many ways to show kindness to others, at the core, it is paying attention to those around you and loving the well. It is seeing the person next to you in the grocery store, or holding the door open for someone behind you. In case you are drawing a blank on practical things you can do with your kids to show acts of kindness, I hope these will help spark ideas for you.
