Kindness and Caring Connects to Health

In Ms. Papoff's class, we discussed the connections between health and kindness and caring. Here are the ideas that we came up with:
  • You can care for people when you are playing an active game. For example, you can include someone who wants to play or help someone up if they fall down.
  • You can help people who are sick get healthy.
  • You can give people healthy food and tell them about the importance of healthy eating.

Can you think of any other connections between health and kindness and caring?
