All about Kindness

Kindness means caring about other people and showing it through your words and actions. Small acts, such as sharing a snack, saying thank you or offering to help, can make a big difference to someone's day.

Kindness also includes being gentle with animals and the environment, and including people who may feel left out. Acts of kindness often encourage others to be kind too, which helps build a happier community.

Kindness is free, and it always makes the world a little better.

When someone is kind to you, you may feel inspired to be kind to someone else. Kindness also feels good to the person who gives it.
