Make Kindness the NormDoing acts of kindness is one of the best activities you can do with your kids. It's a great way to bond as a family, a lot of fun and teaches kids about compassion and service. Any act of kindness no matter how big or small can make a difference–especially when done intentionally. | Character TraitThis month we will be focusing on the character trait of integrity.
