when someone in our class
got injured while playing outside
the kinder quickly sprang into action
creating art and cards for their friend
23 pieces of art from 14 children
given to her to know she was cared about
a quiet smile was her gift back to them.

We need so many more of these moments with the future generation to free us from worry that things will only continue to get worse. I love the idea of the other kinders caring so much as to immediately put their caring into art.

they jumped right on it, knowing it was something they could do and she would understand it as meaning they cared – I so agree with you

We can all learn from these kinders, who learned, I expect, from their kind, compassionate, caring and loving teacher. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment.

What a shame that we all don’t retain this loving, caring attitude as adults. The world would be a much better place. Maybe this crop of kinders will change that.

That’s 14 fewer bullies in the world since they have clearly learned compassion already. Well done, teachers and parents.

oh, you’re so right. I think children are naturally compassionate and know what today when a friend is hurt or unhappy. our job is for all of us to support and encourage them in their efforts.
