Kindness matters and is needed almost everywhere you look. Teaching our children about this important character trait and giving them ample opportunities to show kindness to their neighbors and in their community is important. Reading to your children and giving them examples of how to show kindness is a fun way to teach your children how to be kind and show love to those around them.
This week's What to Read Wednesday post is all about kindness and the fun ways we can show it in our communities, to our friends, and in our family. Watch my introduction to this week's book list here:
