When we teach our children the way to behave with other people, one of the first things we teach is to be kind.
We don't want them to snatch things from other children because it is not the kind thing to do. We should let them have the first turn at the swings, ask if they want the toy we were going to pick out, and let them choose which dessert to take.
When we have a party we especially want our children to be kind to the others who were invited.
If we get a puppy for them we tell them to be kind and gentle with the baby dog.
There is also something else we say, " Don't be that KIND of person". Usually, we mean don't be thoughtless or rude.
We love it when people are kind by surprise.
Thank you for being kind and stopping by.
Have a great kind of day.
My SIL uses the word "soft". Be soft with the cats. (One nephew needs to be reminded of this frequently.)

How often I forget that kindness, like mercy, is often undeserved! Thank you for the reminder of the wonder of unexpected kindness.
