A Parenting Pivot With The Kindness Calendar

Halloween has passed which means the holiday season is fast approaching and with them, the parties, events, and eager kids with gift lists a mile long.  We all want to make the holidays magical for our kids but when the season of giving starts to feel like the season of getting it’s time for a parenting pivot. 

Enter the Kindness Calendar created by the nonprofit In Kind Boxes! 

Founder Maria Berglund explains, “Raising our kids to be kind is something we all strive for as parents. During the holiday season, there can be a lot of focus on gifts, so I’ve made it a point with my three sons to do acts of kindness over the holiday season. I’ve put those activities together in a Kindness Calendar for Kids so parents can have a fun and easy resource for their families to spread kindness together too!”

The calendar has a nice mix of activities that kids can do on their own and things that can be done as a family and the activities could be easily modified for various ages making it appropriate for a wide range of children. 

When you purchase the calendar, not only does your family receives an easy-to-follow blueprint for creating a month of kindness and connections in your community, but 100% of your purchase price goes to charity.  This money enables In Kind Boxes to donate their curated boxes of postpartum essentials to women in need.
