Is your school community confusing “nice” with “kind” and leaving LGBTQ+ students unsupported in the process?
As a new school year begins, many of us want to build more inclusive classrooms and communities, but surface-level politeness won’t get us there. This episode challenges parents, educators, and allies to embrace kindness as a courageous, everyday act that builds true safety and connection.
- Learn the key difference between being “nice” and practicing real kindness in school settings
- Get ready-to-use scripts for handling misgendering, exclusion, and passive comments with compassion and clarity
- Discover simple ways to raise children who lead with empathy and protect their peers with quiet courage
Press play to learn how kindness can become a bold tool for change—and how you can model and teach it this school year.
