Often when we adults talk about teenagers, we roll our eyes and talk about how bad they are.
I recently heard a news story that warmed my heart .
There were three teenage couples on their way to their school prom, when they witnessed an automobile accident where the car was rolled on its side with a family trapped inside.
Rather than asking the limo driver to go around the accident, they ask him to stop and they all ran over to help the family get out of the car safely.
Fortunately the family was not seriously hurt, and once the teens saw they were going to be ok, they got back in the limo and continued on to the Prom.
Imagine , here are six teenagers all dressed up for the prom and their attitude was not "let someone else help them, we're dressed up and don't want to get dirty" No, they put kindness and sympathy for that family first.
I take my hat off to those teens and to their parents for teaching them to be kind and to think of others.
Do you teach your children to be kind and think of others? And do you set an example for them by being kind yourself?
We need to teach our children kindness, and to help other from the time they are very small. And if we do they will always remember it and be better people as a result of it.
The world is so much better when we show kindness to each other, and especially if it starts at home.
Lets all be kinder than we need to be.
