When the holidays arrive, your preschooler might be eager to get into the spirit of the season. Although you might be more focused on what you can do for them during breaks from school, encouraging your child to show kindness and give back can be helpful for their development. Here are a few simple acts of kindness preschool children can try, and how it could help them in the long run.

Ways Your Preschool Student Can Show Kindness to Others

1. Serve Others 

Teach your child to pay attention to what other people are saying and doing, so they can look for opportunities to help. For instance, explain to them that they could help a friend clean up their play area at preschool or close the door for the teacher if they ask for a volunteer. Give your children opportunities at home to serve, so they get into the habit of helping. 

2. Make a Gift for Someone

Instead of focusing on purchasing presents for other people, help your children make gifts for friends, teachers, and family members. Explain that the effort shows affection and care for the recipient, and by creating something, your child can also polish their skills. 

3. Give Compliments

Explain to your child that it feels good to hear a positive feedback, and encourage them to give compliments to others when they notice changes. Ask your child to find good qualities about others during their day, and to share the compliment willingly with other people. In addition to helping your little one to see the positive, giving compliments might also make it easier for your child to break the ice with potential new friends.
