💝 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Kindness cards work best when they inspire genuine action, not performative behavior for rewards. When introducing these challenges, emphasize how kindness makes others feel: "When you help someone carry something heavy, how do you think they feel? How does it make you feel?" The goal is building intrinsic motivation for kindness, not earning stickers or prizes. Start with one card per week for younger children (4-5), allowing time to practice and reflect. Older children (6-8) can handle daily challenges. After completing a kindness act, discuss it together: "What happened when you did that? Did the person smile? How did you know they appreciated it?" This reflection deepens empathy and helps children understand the impact of their actions on others.
