Summary

In this episode Lindsay shares all the ways she's incorporated kind acts into her kids lives to create a routine of it, so it’s part of their world and their everyday thinking. And in a way that’s genuine and not forced.

She believes that kindness is one of the most important things that we can teach our kids. So today, we are going to talk about real ways we can exercise kindness all the time so it becomes second nature for our kids.

Some key thoughts:

How to raise kids who have empathy and not just think about themselves.

We have to be intentional about raising kind kids.

ASK yourself - when you go to bed- if my kid modeled my behavior or repeated my words.. would I be happy with that?

Consider teaching your kids to look at the color of people's eyes who are talking to you. Smile often. Be grateful to your teachers and show your appreciation. Volunteer and spend time doing non-profit work. Make handmade cards. And so many other ideas of how to incorporate kindness into your kids everyday lives.

Kindness is contagious. And it’s so important for all of our kids to grow up being kind. This episode helps us all focus on kindness and being intentional about how it plays out in our lives and our kids lives. We can’t think of much that’s more awesome than that.
