BE KiND.
I probably repeat my motto about 15 times a day to my children. Kindness is huge to me. I think it is a very tangible concept to learn at a young age. I truly believe kindness fosters respect, positive decision making and good character. I pray every single day for my children to be kind, respectful people.
BE KIND.
It is what I tell William every day as he walks out the door for school. It is what I am teaching Adeline as she learns to share with her sister.
This summer we made cookies and distributed them to the postman, firemen, and policemen. So at Thanksgiving, I jumped on another chance to address being kind to others. We went to the grocery and bought the cute butter shaped like turkeys. William chose 5 neighbors/friends in our area whom he wanted to gift the butter.
William wrote a note that read "We are thankful for you! Love The Barrons"
Adeline and I attached the notes with ribbon and the 3 of us delivered the butter to our friends.
Although William understands what it means to BE KIND, I am happy to use any opportunity to reinforce it! Handing out the butter gave Adeline a visual lesson in kindness and she loved every second of it. She was very proud handing out the gifts.
