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

Filed Under: BLOG, Front Page Slider, Life Lessons, parenting, printable Tagged With: Kindness, Kindness calendars, Kindness for families, Printable

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. 

Challenge your whole family to be kind. Find out how with these #freeprintables

To provide a family-friendly activity for the New Year your whole family can benefit from, FTD has created 3 “New Year, New Me” kindness calendars that are versatile for every month of the year.

Each calendar offers different challenges and inspiration to stay kindness conscious all year long. One is even geared at showing kindness to family members and friends. These simple reminders will help you and your little ones to spread kindness at school, home or wherever life takes you!

They’ve also provided kindness challenges that are simple and can be turned into fun family activities to do together! Try these with your family or on your own to enter the New Year on a positive note one kind act at a time.

4. Invest in Yourself

Show yourself some love by expanding your skills or knowledge, caring for your body and fitness goals, or simply cultivating your mental and emotional health.

    I was just talking this morning with a friend about giving back to the community. It is worth finding something you truly love, because then you will contribute your passion as well as your time. I think it is fine to try out a few opportunities, and not just take the first one that comes along. There is lots of need, so take the time to find the one that you can be excited about helping.

      I love that you were currently thinking about this and shared it here for you. that said, I couldn’t agree more about finding opportunities that fit and make you excited is what it is all about 😉

    Teach kindness….what a great lesson to pass on to others.

    I was thinking, calendars have not really been replaced by technology. We still have a couple calendars hanging on walls for reminders. I know you can get them on the computer and on our phones, but I like having one I can look at easily.

    Anyway, Happy Tuesday to you on this snowy morning.
