    ##YOUR100WORDSTORY Kids imitate whatever parents do knowingly or unknowingly. If I do something good, my kids are likely to do the same. To teach my children the importance of kindness, first I have to be kind to others. I should be kind, not only to humans but animals also. A kind person always creates a happy environment. I help old people and feed birds. My children follow me. We keep water for birds in summer and in return, get immense happiness. It acts as a stress buster too. And without saying anything, I teach kids the importance of kindness.

    #YOUR100WORDSSTORY As they say- " Charity begins from home", Little Children learn from adults, whatever we do, they try to imitate us. So, in order to teach our children the act of kindness, we should first be kind ourselves.. -We should try to highlight people's emotions living around us. -We should always Teach our children the joys of helping others. -Keep smiling " is another key word to make them understand the act of kindness and never be rude.. - Making them learn to appreciate others effort. - Most importantly ,we should always make sure that they know how their behavior affects those around them.

    Kindness has its root from the word 'kin' or 'kynd' implying to be considerate and inclusive of others. Being kind is a Win-Win thing ,like 'Eye for an eye is going to make the whole world blind',but a kind act can dissolve the bitterness.So giving rational explanations with practical implications satiates a young mind to inculcate the value. Children emulate what they perceive.Being Kind yourself is the most effective way to inspire children. Elders appreciating kids when acting generous and kind will spur them to practice these virtues further. Telling stories of scriptures,biographies depicting kindness will impress them. Taking them to orphanage,oldage homes can also melt their hearts to be kind.

    My princess, she will be 3year's old by this month. I taught her: 1. How to respect others, while greeting. With respect she'll call everyone. 2. How to eat food without wasting or spilling. 3. How to keep everything tidy, the very next moment she stops playing with her toys, she'll collect all those and put it in the basket. 4. I have taught her to save money, now she don't know what's the use of saving money but later she'll. When ever she saw some coins she'll ask for her piggy bank, to save those in her bank. 5. I would proudly say, I taught her sharing habit. When ever she gets a biscuit or chocolate from me. She will ask for others to. So that she will share it with others.

    l have imparted few life lessons and values to my children .So that they could cope with the challenges of the real world with grace and confidence while growing up. The most valuable lesson that I taught them is to be happy and remain positive. Life may not always be a bed of roses neither should it be dark and gloomy. It is a mix of ups and downs which paves the way for rich learning experiences. So, I encourage my children to focus on the positives, count their blessings and find joy in the little things that bring happiness. There is no need to fret over mistakes, or if their demand is not fulfilled.This makes my kids happier with less frustrations and display of temper tantrums.

    Those that are not able to forgive can grow up to be bitter. Whether or not it is intentional, people can act badly from time to time and it is important to forgive these individuals and show them compassion rather than holding a grudge that will only hurt you. Responsible children grow into responsible adults. It is important to teach children to take responsibility for both the good and bad actions they do. This helps to prevent your children from growing into whiny individuals who are always trying to blame others for things they have done wrong.

    Kindness is to have a friendly, helpful and caring attitude towards others . We can teach kindness to the children by imbibing them with moral values . Every religion teaches kindness. Kindness in words creates confidence and kindness in giving creates love. All the moral values must be inculcated with the children from beginning. So it is necessary that we as elders must be imbibed with moral values. Being mother of two daughters I say them ...first you have to help yourself , so that you try to do your best in every task you take up. Helping others who are weak in studies and also by sharing things with friends,Obeying and respecting teachers is also act of kindness. At home helping grandparents and parents in doing some house hold chores will teach lesson of kindness. Children should also be taught to value the gifts of nature. I along with my children sow the seeds and watch them growing to plants at home. Feeding pet animals and birds make them feel power of kindness . Moreover children should be made to feel that act of kindness will fill their heart with joy .

    I personally always believe that kids don't learn, they follow us, try to copy us. So there is no way of teaching kindness, show them. They observe each and every minute things what we elders do.First we need to be polite and kind to each and every one, irrespective of their job and position. I always address sir/madam to everyone and wish everyone, or at least smile when we come face to face, who ever it is, watchman, milk person, auto driver, why not garbage cleaner also. Told my son it's dignity of labour, give respect for what they are doing, even they are helping us directly, indirectly every day. He follows the same. He is 7 yrs old, what I observed is he learned more just by observing us. Karthik sometimes reminds me saying on that day... In that incident u did like this na amma. This always makes me alert the way I move and speak with others.very often I tell him before deciding what u want to become, just remember you should be a good human being first, and that will always show you the correct way. Story telling and showing small incidents itself is enough they can understand things. I never told him to do so but he daily keeps water outside, keeps some rice in a bowl says those are for birds and ants. Children they just observe and grow. It's in our hands how we mould them.
