can heal broken hearts,

Welcome to Focus on Kindness!
We often hear about the lack of kindness in our world today,
however there are things that we can do to address this problem
and make a positive change for our future.
The purpose of this simple website is to provide encouragement
and contact information regarding the topic of kindness.
Thank you for your time and have a groovy day!

'Teaching Kids to Care'
A parenting book, created by the folks atKids Korps USA.
(FOK thanks Shirl Thomas for this reference tip)
This book presents practical and effective ways of teaching children
the value of caring for others through community service.
Visiting the elderly, feeding the homeless, helping with environmental projects, assisting with Special Olympics, these are just a few of the many possibilities. And by being involved with community service, children not only learn how to care about others, but they also develop
leadership skills and self-confidence.
"This book coaches us on the importance of parenting and shows us how to raise 'kids who care,' by building a deep sense of character and compassion in children and society. The concepts in this book can have a dramatic impact
on children who will go on to influence the world around them.
The world can always use more leaders, heroes, and pioneers -
and this book can help you help your child be one of them."
- Larry King, Larry King Live
Kids Korps USA is an organization that teaches children
