3 Ways Students Can Spread Kindness

Guest Post¦ Kindness. It’s everywhere. You can take your pick from the ‘Be Kind’ movement, random acts of kindness, or even ‘World Kindness Day’, which takes place each year on 13 November. You probably aren’t surprised there’s an actual day for being kind, what with there being a ‘day’ for everything. For example, there’s an International Carrot Day (4 April), ‘Wear a Hat Day’ (the date for this changes, but this year (2022) it’s on 25 March) and a ‘National Black Cat Day’ (which is on 27 October for those of you owned by mini panthers). We can all do our bit to be kind – whether it’s simply letting someone go in front of us in the supermarket queue (unless they have a huge trolley full of groceries, obvs. We all have our limits!) or sending a message of support to someone you know who’s feeling a bit down. What else we can do to spread kindness depends on our situations to a certain extent. A stay at home mum could be kind by extending the hand of friendship to another local mum (maybe by inviting her to a baby show) and someone who works near their neighbour could offer them a lift to work instead of leaving them shivering at the bus stop. As for the younger generation, here are three ways students can spread kindness.

The Baby Show 2022

Gifted¦ Pregnancy during the pandemic and giving birth at the height of the second peak were strange experiences. Amongst other things, I really missed the experiences of going out shopping and going to The Baby Show. I went to it a few years ago when Autumn was a baby and loved seeing products in person, getting great discounts and discovering new brands. Therefore, I was very excited to see that it was back this year at three locations. We visited it at the ExCel in London (it was there from 4-6 March), but it’s also on in Birmingham at the NEC between the 13th and 15th of May before coming back down to Olympia, London from 21st – 23rd October 2022.

7 Reasons to Choose Hoop Earrings as Opposed to Studs
