*** The "Leadworthy Character Trait" in February is Kindness ***
What is Kindness?
Kindness is the ability and willingness to express care and compassion for others. Kindness is a choice to use our time, talent, and resources to better the lives of others and the world through general acts of love, compassion, generosity, and service.
Why focus on Kindness?
- Kindness boosts positive emotions. - Acts of kindness create neural pathways that enhance feelings of well-being and the natural flow of feel-good endorphins and neurotransmitters.
- Kindness is self-replicating. - When we preform an act of kindness, it is likely to encourage others to act in a similar way.
- Kindness reduces stress and anxiety. - Kindness promotes positive relationships with other people. Anything that helps you to build bonds with other people helps decrease anxiety,
Kindness in Action of School and at Home
- Celebrate small things. - Start each day with GOOD THINGS as a class. Start each day at home with an affirmation or compliment. Publicly and privately affirm kind and thoughtful actions and attitudes.
- Create opportunities for students to regularly affirm each other. - Once a week, dedicate time for students to write notes of affirmation to classmates and school staff members. At home, designate a place for written affirmations/positive notes for one another. The refrigerator is a great location!
- Model Kindness. - Be mindful of body language, tone, and mindset, Kindness is learned by example!
