- Encourage your children to always hold the door open for others while greeting them with a warm smile. After time it will become second nature to them.
- When you notice someone struggling with their groceries offer to assist them. Or perhaps offer to return their cart. Small gestures like this go along way in developing kindheartedness in your children.
- Gather unwanted clothing or food and take them down to a homeless shelter or community care center (do this together).
- A common gesture many people do is to pay for the person behind you in a drive through coffee shop or restaurant. When you do, have your children watch the expression on their faces. It will leave a lasting impression on your children.
- Look for opportunities to make genuine compliments to others on their attire, new hair style, new vehicle, or their general appearance, (anything positive).
