Teaching 6-7 Year Old Children The Importance Of Being Kind, Jazmin Mendez

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

Kindness is an ongoing issue seen in elementary schools. Children ages 6 to 7 years old have a hard time displaying their kindness to their peers. My paper focuses on teaching children ages 6 to 7 years old how to be kind to one another. The children are also shown examples of what it looks like to be kind vs. unkind. The overall purpose, is for the children to learn the benefits of being kind, what are kind vs unkind words, and what are kind vs unkind actions/behaviors.
