![Perform a random act of kindness for someone: a smile, compliment, or a favor just for fun. These will multiply and spread very rapidly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being kind to someone will often set off a positive chain reaction of kindness. This ties into the whole idea of paying it forward. There are countless videos online of random acts of kindness that inspire people daily. Even just watching someone be kind evokes a strong emotion in the observer and encourages them to show kindness and help others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As parents, we set the first examples for our children and are their primary source for what it means to be kind.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Teaching kids to be kind is both a wonderful pastime, and an important one. There’s nothing that beats the feeling of pride we have when a toddler offers a toy to someone else willingly, or our older child gives their tooth fairy money to someone in need. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
