Make it your goal everyday to teach your children to be kind. Kindness has many forms. Examples: A kind word to a friend who had a bad day; encouraging a sibling who feels she’s not good enough; forgiving someone who has hurt you; making duaa for a troubled neighbour without him or her knowing. If nothing else, there’s always the ‘instant kindness’ you can give away. It’s called a SMILE. As a wise person said, “A smile is a curve that sets things straight.”
