Tip For The Parents

Lead by example: Children learn by observing their parents, so it's essential to model kind behavior yourself. Show your child how to be kind to others, such as saying please and thank you, holding the door for someone, or giving a compliment.

Watch Jonny turn a lonely first day into a kindness adventure at Sunshine Elementary 🌟

Jonny was nervous. Today was his first day at a new school. He had butterflies in his stomach, fluttering about like tiny, anxious birds. 'Will I make any friends?' he wondered as he walked through the big, imposing gates of Sunshine Elementary.

The school was buzzing with excitement, kids running and laughing, their voices echoing with joy and energy. Jonny felt a bit lost in this sea of unknown faces. He missed his old friends and the familiar corners of his previous school where he could hide away with a book.

As the bell rang, Jonny made his way to his classroom. He took a seat at the back, hoping to blend into the walls. But as the day went on, he realized that blending in wouldn't make him any new friends. During lunch, he sat alone, nibbling on his sandwich, observing the other kids.

Suddenly, a ball bounced towards him, and a group of kids ran over. 'Sorry, can we have our ball back?' asked a girl with bright, friendly eyes. Jonny nodded, handing the ball back. 'I'm Emma,' she said, 'Do you want to play with us?' Jonny's heart leaped. 'Yes, I'd love to,' he replied, his voice barely a whisper.

Playing with Emma and her friends, Jonny felt a warmth he hadn't felt since he arrived. He learned an important lesson that day - to make friends, you have to open up and let others in. It was a simple act of kindness from Emma that broke down the walls he had built around himself. Jonny went home with a smile, eager for what the next day would bring, knowing that kindness was the key to unlocking new friendships.
