The Kindness Box

The 12 kindness skills are: Assertiveness, Compassion, Helpfulness, Caring, Fairness, Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Self-discipline, Gratitude, Self-care and Perseverance. This programme is part of wider resarch based on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL).

SEL is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understandand manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. SEL supports students and educators to develop and practice emotional intelligence skills and a process for teaching, learning, and practicing these skills. Emotional intelligence skills are increasingly seen to be key for academic, work and lifelong success.


All the best!

When someone we know suffers a loss or is going through a difficult situation, we’re often not sure what to say. Sometimes we ramble or, worse, say nothing and avoid the person. But that doesn’t help at all, and it leaves us dragging around a ton of guilt … and possibly isolating someone we love.

So, how do we show we care? While every heartache is unique to the person going through it, there are universal emotions many of us experience during times of grief and loss. Especially when those we care about are hurting, genuine empathy can guide our words and actions: Try thoughtfully considering what kindnesses would speak to you if you were in a similar situation.

Here are some examples of comforting words to think about the next time you’re struggling with how to help someone going through tough times.


Cheers!
