The WellieWishers are a sweet and silly group of girls who all have the same big, bright wish: to be a good friend by showing acts of kindness to others. That’s why I was ecstatic to find out about the newest line of characters from American Girl®: The WellieWishers™. I also find that combining our character lessons with something the girls are already very enthusiastic about helps drive the message home even more. Planning acts of kindness together can be a great way to start this habit with kids. And you probably know well that kids need a lot of practice spreading kindness in order for it to become an everyday habit for them. If you are a parent or teacher, then you know kids need a lot of good role models when it comes to doing the right thing even when it’s hard. With two young girls who are just beginning to explore the meaning of true friendship, I spend a lot of time chatting about the characteristics of a good friend and how our actions impact others. But how? How do we get them to that point? We all want our kids to grow up to be kind, empathetic people who naturally spread acts of kindness to others.
