Would you like to raise kind kids? Then, be kind. Research shows that if the parents are kind their children are much more likely to be kind.

So, let them see you open doors for people, shovel an elderly neighbours walkway or let someone  go ahead of you in line. And, if those you show kindness to   don't say "thank you", don't gripe about it. Instead, let your children see you smile.

Courtesy and politeness are simple ways to show kindness. 

BE THE EXAMPLE! And watch them mimic you!
 
 
 
 
 
 
One act of kindness is worth a thousand prayers because actions ALWAYS speak louder than words.
 
 
It's time to make the pledge again. 

During Kindness Week from February 11th to February 17th we will make a special and more dedicated effort to be kind to all people all the time.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1) Write someone (teacher, friend, lover, employer) a note or even a letter telling them how much you appreciate the positive affect they have had in your life. And, MAIL the letter. What a nice surprise for them to receive.

2) Call a homeless shelter or food bank and ask what you can do for them. Even, 10 bucks can make a difference.

3) Invite someone who lives alone to dinner or bring them a nice home cooked meal.

Newtown's heartbreak has a lot of us asking, "What can I do?" Thinking about this, I took to Twitter and asked people to imagine what would happen if all of us committed to 20 acts of kindness to honor each child lost in Newtown. I added, "I'm in. If you are, RT #20Acts.
