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! Don't you just love it when people smile at you? Everybody does because it's like a little hug. A smile says: YOU MATTER!
You can give your smile away a million times and still have it to give again tomorrow. So, why not give out more smiles? Often people pass each other and look right into each others eyes but make no effort to acknowledge each other. Why? Because they expect the other person to smile, wave or speak first. Who made up that "Rule?" I say: "GO FIRST!" Be the the one who initiates the first smile. The results will be astounding! just watch! What if today you did two random acts of kindness and suggested to each person you did them for that they do the same. Remember that old Farrah Fawcett shampoo commercial ...."I told two friends and they told two friends. and, so on , and so on..." I wonder how many acts of kindness we could as a group deliver day after day. Check out what these fine ladies did after witnessing one woman's act of kindness. click here
