Teaching children to be kind and to share is one of the most important jobs a parent can do. As someone has said, “It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice.” Sometimes our kids get tired of hearing us encourage them to do kind things for others. They get tired of hearing the same words.
Here are ten quotes on Kindness. Perhaps one or two are appropriate to use with your children. Quotes allow us to use other people’s words to reinforce the truth we have been trying to teach. It tells kids that these thoughts and values are not uniquely mom and dads or grandma and grandpas. These values are and have been cherished by thousands of people over many years.
Not all of these will hit home with your child, but you might find one or two you can memorize and repeat to your children, until they are able to repeat it themselves and the thought has become part of their own thinking.
I hope you will be able to use these few quotes to encourage your children to greater kindness and generosity.

“Early childhood is the most important time in a human being’s development.”
When asked to recall childhood memories, very few if any of us, would not include the fabulous tales of Mother Goose, nor would we forget the wonderful nursery rhymes we were able to recite long before we could read or write. These tales and rhymes have stayed with us and many others around the world for years. We have inherited them from our grandparents and will continue to pass them on to future generations.
