## Lesson: Being Kind Without Being Asked

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.

**Example.** 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.

*(drawing: An offer gives the other person a choice.)*

**Example.** 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.

*(drawing: When someone accepts your invitation, make room.)*

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.

**Recap.** Notice a need, offer safe help and listen. Kind words can show care. Respect the person's answer, and ask an adult when needed.
