Of course, kindness isn’t something we should save for special occasions, but these days are a lovely reminder to pause, reflect, and make an extra effort to spread good vibes. They give us a little nudge to be more intentional, especially when life gets busy and our best intentions slip through the cracks.
What I love most about these special days on our calendar is how they can reignite our spark. A simple reminder to care can be all it takes to shift our mindset and inspire a ripple of kindness that reaches far beyond the day itself.
And it doesn’t have to be grand or complicated. A smile, a kind word, a thoughtful note, even the tiniest gestures can brighten someone’s day and give everyone involved a little dopamine boost.
Kids Are Watching — Let’s Show Them What Kindness Looks Like
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, aunt, uncle, or neighbor, your actions matter. The way you show up in the world, especially on days that highlight kindness, helps shape how the kids around you think, feel, and behave.
That’s why I love giving children simple, meaningful ways to practice kindness at home and school. When they see kindness modeled and get to take part in it themselves, it becomes something they carry with them.

Even after years of participating in kindness activities, I still need a little inspiration sometimes — and that’s where my Kindness Posters come in handy.

Free Kindness Posters for Teachers, Adults & Parents
I also created a free set of kindness posters with ideas for adults, because kindness isn’t just for kids. These are great for staff rooms, family fridges, or anywhere you want to keep kindness top of mind. They'll give you lots of ideas to help you keep up with your kids!
A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way
Kindness has a quiet kind of power. It connects us to one another, builds trust, and creates a sense of belonging. It lifts moods, opens hearts, and reminds us that we’re not alone.
So whether it’s February 17th, November 13th, or just a regular Tuesday, let’s keep kindness visible, simple, and part of our everyday rhythm. Because the world really does feel better when we lead with care.
