Why does kindness matter?
When you act kindly toward others, the benefits go both ways. Small,
thoughtful acts—like helping, sharing, listening, or teaching—can change
both how you are perceived and how you see yourself. When children are
encouraged to be kind, their peers want to spend more time around them.
Not only does kindness strengthen social relationships, but it also can
show that your choices have an impact and that you have valuable skills
(like the ability to make friends). In short, being kind to others is also being kind to yourself.
