About Kindness
Kindness shows up in small, repeatable actions: holding a door, saying please and thank you, listening while someone finishes a sentence. The words gathered here name those actions plainly, from paying a compliment to volunteering time for people you may never meet. Many schools set aside World Kindness Day in November, though the habits behind it work on any ordinary Tuesday. Notice how many entries on this list describe something you do rather than something you feel.
Elementary teachers and counselors reach for this during a character education unit or a class discussion about how students treat one another.
