Acts of Kindness

This page displays articles with ideas for families to practice kindness together.  Creating a life of growth and meaning inevitably includes an element of giving to others whether it is on a personal level, neighbourhood, community, or larger scale.  Growing and giving create a cycle that can, in fact, be woven into a family’s culture.

In the first section you will find stories from families around the world who have had meaningful experiences serving others.  In the second section you will find some free printables, kind ideas for specific groups of people, and collections of ways to pay it forward.
