Family Challenges: 30 Days of Kindness for your Kids

I’m all about trying to create some Family Challenges that will bring some fun and positivity to people right now. Our neighborhood is doing some really fun things right now to keep things fun and light for the families and it’s so appreciated. It’s all about coming up with unique ideas that will spread some happiness!

Family Challenges: 30 Days of Kindness for your Kids

Family Challenges - 30 Day Kindness Challenge for Kids

I’ve shared many family challenges on my blog throughout the years, but all of them require you to actually go outside and do something and be with other people. It’s tough to share that kind of stuff right now because it’s impossible to do. Since I’m all about spreading kindness, I thought a 30 Days of Kindness (which I’ve written before!) would be fun, but with a different twist.

What is the pure definition of KINDNESS? It’s pretty simple.

kind·ness
/ˈkīn(d)nəs/
noun
noun: kindness
1. the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.
 
I wanted to set up some Family Challenges around KINDNESS. To be friendly. To be generous. To be considerate. It really is the best way to be and it’s the best way to live. If you stop and think about it, the people you probably love being around the most are the kindest ones. Kind people are magnets for people. Being kind isn’t a hard thing to do and right now we need kindness more than ever.
 
I created this family challenge (and will be creating more family challenges, so keep checking on back!) to help some spread some kindness for you and your family to yourselves and to others. You don’t need to do these family challenges of kindness in order, do whatever sparks you that day (or do more than one, too!).
 
Start whenever you want and have some fun with these! I tried to make them all pretty simple and pretty straightforward. I didn’t want this to be anything that was too difficult to do!! Being KIND shouldn’t be hard, right?! I also tried to make it where I’m encouraging KINDNESS in many different ways!

If you’re looking for any other things to do that are kind for people, host online parties and invite people! You could have ANY kind of party! I shared about how we’re going to be hosting a virtual birthday party for our son Ben. He’s turning 13 in April and won’t be able to have the party he so wanted to have. I shared all the details on how to host the best virtual birthday here, too!
 
Remember – we’re all in this together! I hope these family challenges help you and makes you and your kids spread and share some kindness. Most important, I hope this inspires other to follow suit and do the same!
