What is kindness?

Kindness is when you do something nice for someone else because you care about them.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy, and your friend drops their toy on the floor. Instead of laughing at them, you pick it up and give it back to them. That’s kindness, a simple action that shows you’re thinking about others.

1. You see someone sad and give them a hug.
2. You share your snack with a friend who doesn’t have any.
3. You help a little brother or sister tie their shoes.

These are all acts of kindness, like little sparks that make the world feel warmer and friendlier.

Think of kindness like a cookie jar in the kitchen. Every time you do something nice for someone, it’s like putting a cookie into the jar. The more cookies you put in, the more happy feelings you spread around, and sometimes, those happy feelings come back to you too!
