Our children are going to meet up with difficulties in life. Rather than be fearful, or 'cause them anxiety, we can plant seeds of truth in their hearts to equip them for their future.
"The Kindness Seed" was inspired by our grandchildren and some of the difficulties they have already encountered at pre-school, kindergarten, and school. This story is not an exhaustive lesson on kindness, but an attempt to plant a seed.
Consider these thoughts further...
The Parable of the Sower, found in Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23.
How do we cultivate good soil in our children's hearts, so the seed will take root and grow?
How do we, together, hear the Word and understand it?
Why is there so much repetition in this story?
Repetition in this instance creates a rhythm, helps memory, helps develop reading skills further.

Someday in the near future I would love to have this story illustrated and available in e-book and print format. I have fun imagining how the seed of kindness is planted in the children's hearts before they go to school. I try an imagine what the seed looks like. I delight in developing the story further in my mind. Have your child send me their version of what the seed of kindness looks like.
