I don’t think it is an overstatement to say that the world needs some kindness right now. Let’s commit to doing our own part in bringing that about. Little movements, small actions can make great impact collectively. Let’s band together this school year and shower each other with kindness, caring, empathy and love. Let's make this school year the kindest one yet!

Thinking about leadership styles with your kids and having meaningful conversations about the leaders you embrace, value and respect helps kids to link strong leadership skills with values. This July, as you reflect on our nation, engage your kids in important civic conversations that link the importance and value of listening, reflecting, kindness, giving back and volunteering to leadership.
