Hi Mesick families! This week’s topic is kindness. What is kindness? Kindness is showing concern about the well-being and feelings of others. It’s the quality of being friendly, warm-hearted, considerate, generous, and more. Why is kindness important? Here are just a few benefits children will experience from learning values like kindness: 1. Happy children! Studies show that kindness activated the joyful area of the brain. 2. Improved health and less stress! Being kind increases happiness and decreases stress. 3. Greater sense of belonging! Even small acts of kindness create feelings of self-worth and belonging. 4. Increased feelings of gratitude! Children learn to appreciate what they have when helping others. 5. Better concentration! Kindness helps children feel good, and having a positive outlook increases attention spans and encourages more creative thinking. 6. Less bullying! Research shows that effects of bullying can be reduced significantly with kindness/related programs. Try some of these activities with your children at home! “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” -unknown Have a great week! -Ms. Stevens
