Together, we can be kind – reading stories can support the understanding of what kindness is

What you need 

  • A selection of stories in which characters help each other 

What to do 

  • Find somewhere quiet and comfortable to read the story with your toddler.  
  • As you read, talk to them about the characters who are helping others. You could talk about what they’re doing, and how that might make them and the character they helped feel.  
  • Pause to give your toddler time to comment, or to show you the things they notice too.  

Good to know 

Your toddler can learn about being kind to others through books. The Kindness Book by Todd Parr is a wonderful example of a book which does this perfectly for young children.
