How many times has someone told you to “be nice”? I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve ignored this advice. But what if I told you that those two words may be the key to living a more fulfilling life?

For example -
We all want the world to be happier, right? I'm sure you agree when I say that happiness would solve a lot of the world's problems.

"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again."

How Do We Teach Kids to Be Kind in an Unkind World?
The world around us can seem very unkind, especially to young children.
Why is that man homeless? Why does that boy have holes in his shoes? Why didn’t that girl have any food for lunch?
And whilst we can’t throw on a superhero cape and fix all the problems (although that would be cool), it is important to help our children understand what’s happening. And how they may be able to make that person smile again.
Kindness doesn’t have to cost anything more than time. But the value added to someone’s life by sharing a smile when they don’t have one of their own is immeasurable. It brings warmth, and hope, and a restored faith in humanity.

How to Teach Your Kids to Be Generous
Generosity comes in many forms. We give monetarily by supporting our churches and various charitable organizations. We give our time through volunteering at local hospitals, running marathons to raise money for research or teaching Sunday school classes. We also give our spirits as we strive to be kind and thoughtful in our actions. And we share our talents with others through various activities.
As parents, it is important that we teach our children how to be generous. They look to us for their life lessons, and we have great influence over them in their early years.
It is never too early to start showing your child how to be giving and to instill the importance of this in their hearts. Below are some tips on how to teach your kids to be generous.

We all want our children to be good people. So we try to tell them how to treat others and be kind from the time when they're little, but we don't always know if our message is getting through. Except sometimes, they do something that proves they've been listening all along.
In a TikTok posted on August 24, one mom who says she's been "drilling" how important it is to look out for kids who might not have any friends to sit with at lunch into her own child's head for years was extremely proud to find out that her daughter stepped up and helped out another student on the first day of school.

Look for opportunities to be kind
And following on from my last point, you could take it to the next level by actively looking for opportunities to be kind.
That might look like this:
Volunteering at a care home or local animal shelter
Working with the local community center
Joining a program to help underprivileged kids
Or it could be as simple as being observant; you notice your neighbor’s lawn is overgrown? Why not do them a favor and trim it down?
The more you perform acts of kindness, the more being nice to people will come naturally!

Kindness is simple, powerful and very often misunderstood. In the context of COVID19 we are working to reconsider what kindness means; and what acts of kindness are.
Kindness comes from a place of compassion; or empathy for others, particularly those who are experiencing difficulties or suffering. Feeling empathy can increase our desire to ease the difficulties or suffering of others and undertake acts of kindness.
The Kindness Pandemic calls for action to improve the lives of others, particularly those who are marginalised and oppressed. We focus solely on action to create change because it can transform what people are experiencing right now.
