ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER
Morning Time
As your kid starts their day, tell them about something they did or said that showed kindness. (Or maybe it was something they chose NOT to say or do.)
Drive Time
While on the go, ask your kid: “What is something kind you’ve seen someone say or do lately—even if it’s online?”
Meal Time
At a meal this week, have everyone at the table answer this question: “What are some ways Jesus showed kindness to people? How can we show people kindness in similar ways?”
Bed Time
Pray for each other: “Jesus, help us to show others kindness and compassion the way that You did.”
