Encourage students to start showing both awareness and kindness by noticing and affirming other students’ actions. For example, when they hear another student saying something nice, encourage them to affirm the other student by saying something like, “That was so kind and caring what you said to _____.” Or “That was such a kind think you did out on the playground.” Or “I noticed you let ____ go first when playing kickball, that was so kind of you.”
