Welcome back to Kindness Week 1! We’re coming at you with another Kindness tip of the day. Today, we’re focusing again on being curious by learning how to notice when a classmate might need some extra support. Ask yourself, Has this person been acting differently lately? Do they seem lonely? Being curious means paying attention to changes in words and behavior. If these changes are unusual or concerning, they could be a sign that your classmate needs help. Stay tuned next week for more Kindness tips.

Be Curious! Words have power - use them wisely. Think first, post second. Remember, there are real people behind the screens, and your actions online are just as meaningful as those in real life.

Day 3: We’re here with more Kindness tips as part of Kindness Week 1! To prevent mistreatment, you not only need to be kind, but you also need to be curious. Here’s today’s tip for how to be curious. Mistreatment can be sneaky. It often hides in plain sight, like in jokes and “funny” memes. When you hear a joke or see something online that makes fun of someone’s identity, stop and ask yourself, is this actually a joke? Or is it a mean comment disguised as a joke? To stand up to mistreatment, you have to first notice it. And when it comes to stuff online, you definitely want to avoid passing on hurtful messages. Always think first, post second.

Welcome back to Kindness Week 1! Today’s tip on how to spread kindness focuses again on being kind. Today, check in on a friend and ask them how they are doing. Like, how are they really doing? And then, most importantly, listen carefully and actively to their answer. When you ask someone how they are doing, don’t automatically accept their answer if they say, “good,” or “fine.” They might really be fine! But if they don’t seem ok, let the person know that it’s ok to not always be ok! And if someone doesn’t want to talk about how they are feeling, don’t force them to. However someone is feeling today, accept and honor their feelings. It’s likely that person will feel seen and appreciated. Visit www.community-matters.org to learn more.
