Teaching kids to be kind can be one of the most important lessons they will ever learn. “For many parents, one of the most precious things they strive to give their children is the ability to be kind and empathetic to others,” according to Scholastic. “Sometimes it can seem like kids already have it down pat, like when they try to comfort you when you’re sad, or surprise a friend with a handmade gift. Other times, they grumble if they have to share their favorite toy with a sibling or are asked to work with a classmate they don’t know very well ,” added Scholastic. “Either way, it’s important to remember that on both the good and bad days, children need guidance,” said the publication.
