We love when a school wants to get involved on spreading kindness in the community. Jenkins Elementary School located in Hickory, NC has been so accommodating to making sure their students stay involved with The Art of Compassion Community Outreach Projects.
Kindness is more than just a feel-good action; research shows that it’s deeply rooted in our biology. Our brains release oxytocin, when we do kind things, which enhances mood and emotional well-being. What’s more is that kindness has the power to lower stress levels, reduce anxiety, and even strengthen our immune systems.
As we understand more about the science of kindness, we learn that small acts can have profound effects on both individuals and communities. By integrating acts of kindness into daily routines, encouraging meaningful conversations, and exposing children to inspiring stories, parents can nurture empathy and compassion in their children and reap the benefits of kindness science!
Let’s make kindness a cornerstone of our family culture and watch as it shapes our children into remarkable, considerate human beings.
With gratitude,
– MiaLisa Millares, Executive Director
