As adults, it is so easy to get caught up in our busy lives that we often forget about the simple things in life. As a mom of 4 young children, they remind me every day how small actions like a hug or smile can make such a powerful impact on our lives. It is one of the best feelings when I walk through the door and my 2-year old can't stop jumping up and down and squealing. Or when I pick up my older kids from school, and I need to be sure I'm ready (so I don't get knocked over!) when my kids are coming running out the door and throw themselves at me.

As a parent being on the receiving on of this great love, I want my kids to share this love and kindness beyond our house. I want them to see that their small acts of kindness can touch so many people beyond our family. It's through these simple actions that we can start showing children they have the ability to make a difference in other people's lives.

“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end”

— Scott Adams

And I believe, as we start teaching children at a young age, that they can make a difference, we can shift our society to be kinder, more compassionate and more empathetic, one child at a time.

So let's start making a difference today and help our kids see that they can make an impact on other people lives. Download our printable list and hang it on your fridge along with our kindness tracker.
