The Kindness Tracker is a creative and child-friendly activity designed to help children of all ages recognise and practise daily acts of kindness. With colourful illustrations and simple prompts, this tool encourages kids to think about how they treat others—and themselves—while building habits that support empathy, gratitude, and emotional wellbeing.
This resource is ideal for classrooms, homes, therapy sessions, or wellbeing programmes, and helps children understand that being kind can make them feel happier, calmer, and more connected.
