Kindness

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant. 1 Corinthians 13:4

Be kind and compassionate to one another, just as in Christ, God forgave you.  Ephesians 4:32.
 
We all enjoy being with kind people. February is the month of the year we love to talk about love.  Kindness is one of the critical attributes of love. The dictionary defines kindness as being friendly, generous, and considerate. 
 
From kindergarten through twelfth grade, we are invested in teaching kindness and consideration of others. Being kind often does not cost more than a smile, kind word, or simple gesture of help. It does not mean we will always agree with everyone, but it does mean that we can show others respect and courtesy as we work things out.
 
Teaching kindness to our children starts with us, the adults who care about them. Do you think about others respectfully and give them the benefit of the doubt?  For example, when another driver pulls in front of you, are you instantly angry, or can you allow this small concession?  Your children are watching and listening to how you deal with others.  Whether behind the wheel, online, or talking with other parents and friends, our children watch and learn.
 
Our children look to the adults in their lives as examples. We can teach our students about kindness in every area of life. Like other spiritual disciplines, it takes time, training, and practice.  Raising kind children and teens is vital in a world that tends to tear us down and encourages us to think only of ourselves. We can model and teach kindness in life's big and small things. 
 
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant. 1 Corinthians 13:4
