Do you fret about your child not eating enough at school because he shares his lunch with others? There is no need to worry because your child is possibly topping the popularity charts because of his sharing ways. An experiment performed among 400 children in the nine to 11 age group in Canada showed that children who are kind are happier and popular in their schools.
As part of the experiment, the researchers from University of California asked children to perform three acts of kindness per week over a course of four weeks. Another group of children was asked to visit three pleasant places per week. While kind acts could mean the child "gave someone some of my lunch" or "gave my mom a hug when she was stressed by her job", places visited could include shopping centres or a grandparent's house.
At the end of four weeks, both groups of children were found to have an increased sense of well-being from the activities, said the paper that was published in the Public Library of Science (PLOS) journal. But the group that had performed kind acts had gained something extra-they had found easy acceptance among their peers. The authors are excited about their study because they feel they have hit the key to managing troubled teens. "Increasing peer acceptance is a critical goal related to a variety of important academic and social outcomes, including reduced likelihood of being bullied,""they said. Their recommendation to teachers is to introduce regular pro-social activities into classrooms for pre-teens. In other words, get children to spread the cheer.
