Teachers, save “The New Kid - Audio Session” to assign it to your class.

There are many ways to be kind to people - you can say something to make someone smile or help them solve a problem. There are no limits to the way we can be kind to each other. Let’s see how kindness helps us feel more connected to one another and changes our mood. 1. ▶️ Click play on the Mind Yeti audio session. Follow along with the guided instructions. 2. 💭 Think: How did you feel about yourself for talking to the new kid? How did your body feel? How did your mood change? What are some other ways you have been kind to others and how did it make you feel? 3. 📓📝 Using a journal or piece of paper, write down the story of a time you were kind to someone. What happened? How did you show kindness? How did the person feel after you helped them? How could you tell? How did you feel? 4. Click Add Response. 5. Click the photo tool to take a photo of your writing. 6.
