An act of kindness can help to make the world a kinder place. A kind act, is something to show care and love for another person, without expecting anything in return. It can help others feel good – instead of bad, improves wellbeing – rather than diminishing it and it costs nothing but can be priceless.
Kind acts can be done for anyone, whether you know them or not. You might do something nice for someone to make them feel happy, valued, or appreciated.
Acts of kindness in a school can be between just pupils, between just staff or between both pupils and staff together. Everyone can get involved with simple acts of kindness that can make a big difference to the wellbeing of the whole school community.
Kindness has an impact on children’s wellbeing by making them feel happier and have a more positive attitude towards others. It can also help reduce stress and feelings of anxiety which then protects mental health. When kindness is practised regularly, it can create a more positive school culture overall.
An act of kindness can boost wellbeing of both the person completing the act as well as the person receiving the act as the act itself boosts ‘positive affect’ which is the ability to experience positive emotions and gives a ‘warm fuzzy’ feeling of wellbeing.
