The Character Education Trait for the week is Kindness and Respect for Others.
Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.
Kindness is being selfless, caring, compassionate, and unconditionally kind. Like love, it takes practice to understand and feel it. We share love with others through kind acts such as a smile, a nice word, an unexpected deed, or a planned surprise.
Respect is defined as a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
Respect means that you accept somebody for who they are, even when they're different from you or you don't agree with them. Respect in your relationships builds feelings of trust, safety, and wellbeing. Respect doesn't have to come naturally – it is something you learn.
