Kindness for the summer and all year long!

Hi All,

I just discovered the Summer Kindness Series by ClassDoJo.  Although the series is over, you can use the link below to get access to all of the kindness habits and activities.

Here is some more information from their website:

How does the series work?

Together, parents and kids discover the 9 essential habits that work together to unlock empathy and inspire kind action. Every Thursday from June 21 — August 16, we’ll send an email that introduces a new kindness habit to practice. Each weekly update includes research-based tips, ideas and activities to help families build the benefits of kindness, together!

Why is empathy important?

Empathy — the ability to understand and care for others — is at the root of kindness. Kids who tune-in to feelings and want to help others are happier, more successful, and more resilient. Empathy reduces conflicts, builds supportive communities, and motivates kids be kind actors, even when nobody's watching :)
I encourage you to check out these resources and use them to promote kindness and empathy in your child(ren).  
Thanks!
Mrs G.
