PARENT RESOURCES
As parents, most of us want our kids to be both kind to others and treated kindly by their peers. We at Kids Are Kind Publishing believe in modeling healthy, respectful, and kind behavior, relationships, and dialogue in our books, to give children examples of how they should treat others, and how others should be treating them.
