5 Family-Fun Kindness Challenges All Year Long Plus Calendar Printables

The New Year brings a chance to restart and practice resolution-setting with little ones. While there is no “right way” to set goals for the future, a great way to approach making positive changes is by focusing on giving back and being kinder to others. 

Whatever your personal or families’ goals are, there are always opportunities to teach your children the importance of lifting others on your way to personal success. By spreading kindness you are more likely to inspire others as well as receive a little love in return. For children, this can be in the form of sharing, helping others, or saying please and thank you.
