Kindness

Family

The idea of kindness is intuitive to each aspect of our life. We incorporate it in our lives with our social media posts, our greetings, our day-to-day conversation and so much more. We do this because it feels good to do good. We all know that warm feeling we get when we do something nice for another being. We also know, even more, that warm feeling we get when someone is nice to us.

However, the practice of kindness, although never purposely forgotten, can easily be forgotten in one very important aspect of life: family.

Too often is forgotten the importance of being kind to your family. Too often do we reflect on our days and wish we had done or said something different. Because of this, the practice of kindness within families needs to be more habitual.

Whether we join a kindness challenge, practice everyday words of kindness, or just communicate better, the practice being done will shape a stronger family.

Healthy development starts at home with a strong family foundation. As we do this, our relatives and future generations will go into the world striving to make a difference with a desire to push past the world’s faults. Children being taught so that it is second nature to them will teach what is important and what is valued in life. It will also allow for the time of reflection.

It will give you the chance to reflect on yourself and your behaviors; good or bad. Not to mention, stronger bonds and deeper connections will be made to each other.

What many don’t realize is the act of kindness involves more than just a want to be nice to others. It involves courage, strength, and compassion. This goes to show that being kind positively reinforces more than just the act of being kind. It reinforces having the courage to reach out to others. It reinforces having the strength to continue being kind. And it reinforces having compassion which is one of the most common forms of being “kind”.

Acts of kindness are instinct in each aspect of life, just not always carried out. When we live in a world where rising technologies allow for easier negativity, it is important to remember to focus kindness on every aspect of your life. When you communicate kindness in every aspect of your life, it will drive you forward into success.

Kindness in a family is more than just making each other feel good; it’s about strengthening those connections, shaping future generations, and reinforcing other positive attributes.
