*I participated in a campaign on behalf of Snuggle. As a member of the Snuggle Bear Den, I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
Being a parent in modern times can be very challenging. Aside from the fact that kids these days have access to almost unlimited amounts of technology and information, they are just a lot more savvy than we were when we were little. My husband and I are trying to make sure that both of our boys enjoy their childhood for as long as possible. After all, I remind my kids every day that being an adult is certainly not all it’s cracked up to be.
Aside from making sure that they maintain their innocence for a while, we also want to make sure that they contribute to making the world a softer place to live in for themselves and for those around them. In order to do that, we have very specific expectations of them for how they treat each other as well as how they treat others.
Here are some of the ways that we are making the world a softer place through communication:
- Always be polite and use good manners like saying “Please” and “Thank You.”
- Treat others the way that you would like to be treated.
- Ask permission when you want to borrow someone else’s property.
- Communicate in a positive way even when you are upset or angry.
- No name-calling because words hurt.

Our family volunteers a few times a year either at the food pantry or doing trash cleanup around our town. Every little bit helps 🙂
When I go to the what they call the Strip District in Pittsburgh (It is just a place to shop with many stores), I always try to feed a homeless person. The last time I was there, I didn’t see anyone.

We try to instill these same lessons into our girls. There is no need to be harsh with people, you truly catch more flies with sugar!
Great lessons we strive to teach our girls as well. One way we add softness to our world is with our smiles. Its such a easy thing to do! Also, we are always on the lookout for a super senior who may need assistance while shopping. Whether that be reaching an item on a grocery store shelf, holding the door open, pushing their shopping cart, or the biggie- listening! Lots of seniors are lonely, so talking at the store may be the only socialization they get that day or week.

I love the concept of this giveaway. My little man and I practice kindness and sharing while we are at our play group and play dates. This is how we make the world a softer place.
Sometimes we think we need to do a lot of stuff to make a good impact. Things like the ones you mention “say thank you, ask politely, sharing, treats others the way we like to be treated” are really important. I always tell my girls also, not name calling, or color calling. They have to be respectful to others and to themselves.

I love the things you’re teaching, and we’re teaching those things here too. We make the world a softer place by intentional donating of our time, money, and things.
We make an effort to be nicer than we want to be! Seriously…my mom taught me to do that. Treat people well, then go a step further. Don’t just be polite; spread love! It costs nothing, but means everything.
