Monday 18th May marks the start of Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme this year is KINDNESS, something we have worked hard on at Ladywell Primary.  Here are some ideas for spreading some kindness this week which has the added benefit of making us feel happy by making others happy.

1. Write a kindness challenge for each day this week.  Ideas could be, teach someone in your family a new game, send a card, letter or picture to someone you haven’t seen for a while, do some jobs around the house (dusting, tidying), video call (with permission) a friend, make a snack for someone at home.
2. Ask everyone in your family to write down some acts of kindness and put them in a jar.  Each day choose one act of kindness and carry it out.
3. Compliments!  A simple but really great way to be kind.  You could sit together as a family and take it in turns to give someone a compliment.  Another idea could be to make a poster or card for someone in your family and tell them all of the things that make them great to you!
