You praise your kids for listening. You praise them for their good grades. You thank them when they tidy up their toys and papers. All of your positive attention reinforces these desirable behaviors, causing them to happen more often. So how much attention do you regularly pay to kindness? Remember to comment when your child moves over to make space, shares something, offers to help, praises a sibling and so on. The more you see kindness, the more kindness you'll see!
