THE EXPERIENCEKindness is something we practise.
One small, sincere action in the real world is worth more than finishing six cards.
A LITTLE GUIDED MOMENT
Watch it. Try it. Talk about it.
Watch
A grown-up shows the kind action first. There is no need to rush or perform for the screen.
Try
Choose a small action that fits your child's abilities—pointing, helping or speaking all count.
Remember
Notice how your action helped someone. Revisit the same little habit another day.
