Peer Kindness Challenges

Encourage your child to give a genuine compliment to a peer each day this week. Example: “I like how you solved that problem,” or “You’re really good at drawing.”

Challenge them to sit with someone new at lunch or invite someone sitting alone to join their group.

Teach your child to offer to share supplies, or invite another child into a game. Small gestures go a long way.

Write short, anonymous notes of encouragement (like “You’re a great friend”) and place them in lockers or on desks.

Encourage a group of friends to share one thing they appreciate about each other, building a culture of thankfulness.
