Transcript

Try to be kind

It’s good to share your toys and games

With friends, even if you mind.

But if you don’t want to share today

You should still try to be kind.

 

It’s good to say sorry if you’re wrong

And you’ll feel better, you’ll find.

But if you don’t want to say sorry yet

You should still try to be kind.

 

It’s good to forgive when you feel hurt

Even if someone’s been unkind.

But if you don’t want to listen yet

You should still try to be kind.

 

It’s hard to feel you’re not doing well

Or you wish you could press rewind.

But the most important thing is this,

You should still try to be kind.

 

Gillian Craig

The other ways that we can be kind and help other people and be kind is to help them with their homework or share our toys or help them reach things that they cannot reach or even say sorry when we do something wrong so that we can be more kind to each other and make each other feel good and say kind things that can change everything all the time we should always try to be more kind all the time even if it means giving things to other people that you don't want to give away and be polite with with other and try not to hurt other people's feelings.
