#SCUChallenge 27 - Being Kind and Thankful

It's really important that we always remember to be kind, but especially now. Being kind might mean something simple like saying 'thank you' or smiling as we pass someone in the street, or we can be kind by helping out with jobs around the house. Giving thanks is really important too - we need to let people know that we really appreciate what they do for us, what they give to us, how they help us, and also what they might have to give up to be able to help us too.

As well as being kind to other people, it’s really important that we are kind to ourselves too - remembering that it's OK to feel a bit down in the dumps, or to feel a little grumpy about things sometimes. Being kind to ourselves means we are able to realise when and why we might feel like this, reminding ourselves why we are special, and what we can do to cheer ourselves up a little.

So this weekend, our challenge is all about being kind and thankful. We want you think about how you could say thank you to the key workers who are keeping our country running at the moment, and also how you can be thankful at home, and kind to yourself too!
