Be kind. Always.
“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” Henry James
Kindness never goes out of season. Every moment is a chance to care. Compassion makes the world gentler.

Parents, guardians and carers can feel sad and scared, sometimes they may cry too. When you’re with yours be kind to them and give them a hug.
