Kim West, Founder of Kids Swag, a site and online amrketplace with a misson of helping parents to raise confident kids that love themselves and appreciate difference, chats openly about Mindful Representation and shares some of her favourite products and go-to resources.

We all want to raise our children to be kind, loving human beings but how can we ensure we’re doing just that? And what can we do when we see our children demonstrate less-than-kind behaviours? We asked our friend Caron Irwin, certified Child Life Specialist and Founder of Roo Parenting, for her advice on raising kind kids and some tips on what parents can do if they learn their child is bullying others.

February 17th is Random Acts of Kindness day and to celebrate, we spoke with Maran Stern-Kubista, the entrepreneur and mom of two behind My Kindness Calendar, an advent calendar that promotes generosity and kindness in even the smallest members of your family. Kindness doesn’t end after the holiday season though, and to help families practice kindness all year long, Maran recently created two new products: My Mindset Magnets, which help promote positive and gratitude and the "Be Kind All The Time" Calendar.

Feeling a little distant and disconnected from your partner/spouse? We feel you. Homeschooling + working from home + no alone time + no date nights + no vacations does not exactly equal major romance. We asked our friend Allison Villa, Psychotherapist and Relationship Expert, for her top tips for staying close, connected and showing love (even in the midst of a pandemic).

On February 24th, Pink Shirt Day and Anti-Bullying Day in Canada, we will wear pink to remind ourselves and our little ones that we can always choose kind. We’re encouraging every child to take a stand against bullying and to show their support (year-round) with our Kind Human Club Tee.
