Kindness means caring about other people. You can notice a need and offer help without waiting to be asked. Ask what the person wants, then listen. They may say no. Respecting their answer can be kind too.
Mia sees a friend crying. She asks, 'Would you like me to sit with you?' She listens to the answer. Ask before a hug or other touch. If someone falls or might be hurt, tell a nearby trusted adult.
Ben drops his crayons. Zara asks, 'Can I help pick them up?' Ben says yes, so she helps. Choose jobs you can do safely. If something is heavy, sharp or hard to reach, ask an adult. Getting help can be a kind action.
Kind words can show someone you care. Try 'I am here for you' or 'Would you like some help?' You can welcome someone by asking, 'Would you like to sit with us?' Listen to their answer. Your words may help, but the person may still feel sad.
You can offer to share something that is yours, such as a toy or a turn in a game. The other person can choose whether to accept. Follow the rules for shared things. You do not have to give away your own things to be kind.
Notice a need, offer safe help and listen. Kind words can show care. Respect the person's answer, and ask an adult when needed.

When a friend wants to talk
Lena's paper kite tears. She starts to cry. Omar asks whether she wants company. Lena nods and tells him what happened.
Omar listens. He asks, 'Would you like help with the kite?' Lena says she wants to talk first. Omar lets her finish.
When a friend is upset, you can offer company without deciding what they need. Ask before touching them or their things. Listen if they want quiet time. You do not have to make the sadness go away to show care. If someone might be hurt, tell a trusted adult.
Choosing a safe way to help
A basket of clean socks tips over. Kit asks a grown-up, 'Can I put these back?' The grown-up says yes, so Kit helps.
Later, a cup breaks on the floor. Kit stays back and tells the grown-up. Broken pieces are a job for an adult.
Offering help does not mean doing every job yourself. You can help with safe tasks and get an adult for things that are sharp, heavy or hard to reach. If you are not sure a job is safe, ask first.
An offer leaves a choice
Priya is using her skipping rope. She offers Max a turn after hers. Max says yes, and they agree when to swap.
Later, Priya invites Max to a drawing game. Max wants to keep skipping. Priya accepts his answer.
Sharing and invitations are offers. The other person can say yes or no. Sharing a turn does not mean giving your things away. Kind words can welcome someone without making them join. Listen to what they choose.
