Share stories of your DCs kindness with the Clangers - £300 voucher to be won! NOW CLOSED

[EmmaMumsnet]

The Clangers are launching their #clangersforkindness campaign which encourages kids and parents to demonstrate kindness every day, just like the Clangers do on the little blue planet. From giving a hug to helping a friend in need, there are many ways to spread kindness. For the launch of this new campaign, the Clangers would love to hear about times your DCs have been kind.

“Clangers are always kind – to each other and everyone else they meet. But what about the people who live on our little blue planet? Are they kind like the Clangers? As Aesop said ‘No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.’ We’re encouraging people to talk about the ‘kindness stars’ in their life – tagging people who they think are kind and talking about what they do, and encouraging people to spread kindness and be a kindness star themselves. So tell us about your ‘kindness stars’ and the wonderful things they have said and done.”

Check out the video below to see what children think about kindness:

So please tell us about the lovely things your DCs have said and done, however small and whatever their age. What random acts of kindness have they done that have made your day or made you smile? Did your toddler share their toys or food? Did a moody teenager show their thanks? Did your DC help out with chores or say something kind to a family member?

However big or small their act of kindness, share it below and you will be entered into a prize draw where one Mumsnetter will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks, good luck with the prize draw and spread kindness!

I'm always touched by how my DC will share their treats with one another.
Just this week DS(8) offered to use his birthday money to buy his little sister (aged 3) some Lego that she wanted.
Makes up for all the times he doesn't listen to me!!!

my dd is only 19m, but she is so kind!
she recently ripped a page in her book and started crying 'mummy help it' and I told her i couldn't, she was very upset! So we found some cellotape and taped it back up together. she was very pleased saying 'fixed'...

My son gave his little sister his beloved stuffed dog toy as she lost her toy rabbit and was devastated. I was so proud of his kindness,

my eldest son is 4 and is currently being tested for Autism his younger brothers are 2 and 1, although we have many days of melt downs and tears, his kindness towards his too brothers is over whelming, he will share his snacks with his brother and even his toys on a good day.
His heart is so large and he is always happy to be the first to help and nursery if one of his friends are struggling, he walks into class with his best friend hand in hand. Although he might struggle with what we call normal day to day stuff his outgoing and bright and over all very loving and caring

We went to a local home for retired horses with a bag of chopped carrots. My daughter (3) saw a little girl who hadn't got any carrots and straight away gave her a handful of hers so she could feed the horses too.

Goodness, such lovely stories above. Well done to everyone on having such thoughtful children.

My youngest son has worried me for awhile and whilst persevering with reminders to be kind etc this came without prompting whatsoever.

We were recently away on a day trip with a few other children from his class. The other children had packed lunches, but I'd run out of time that day and my son had a "happy meal" type lunch. His lunch came with a few little dinosaur toys and before any of his friends asked he voluntarily shared his happy meal toys amongst his friends.

The same day, two boys were bickering over a map of the venue and my son asked their dad for his map and gave it to the boys, and in his words, he didn't want his friends to fight.

In my mind, it's always the smallest of gestures that make the biggest impact.

They always want to help me in the kitchen they love doing the little jobs for me but it really makes a difference and helps me alot.

my dc's best friend broke his leg recently so wasnt allowed to go out and play on the yard at play times. My little boy offered to give up his own play time breaks to keep him company so he wasnt alone! my heart melted when his teacher was very proud to tell me!

Congratulations to Tonkatol whose name was pulled out of the hat to win the £300 voucher!

My young daughter was late getting ready for school this week, generally messing around, not listening etc. My 7 year old son meanwhile got her coat, shoes and school bag ready for her, he said he was helping to get her ready so she wouldn't get told off by me!

My DS is nearly two and we regularly go to a playgroup where I have to stay. There are lovely children there, and not so lovely children. This week two older boys set out to sabotage Bertie's fun. I watched them follow him around and every toy he tried to play with they took off him. At one stage they sat at the table to play with a truck, the table has 8 seats and every time Bertie tried to join them they would move to whichever seat he tried. He gave up in the end. I had to bite my tongue, and was waiting for Bertie to come to me upset. They kept doing this for quite some time. Finally one mum saw what they were doing and stepped in to tell them off, gave Bertie his toy back, which was a car to play on the garage. The boy got upset so Bertie went up to him to give him the toy and let him play with him. I was in bits, it was an act of kindness the boy didn't deserve after being so mean and I am so incredibly proud of his sweet nature.

My daughter has a very kind nature. She recently gave her pocket money to charity after watching the television, saying people needed her money more than she does.

You can stop making stories up now, this has finished now. It says CLOSED at the top and the winner has been announced.

He's my littlest treasure Alaina Florence - she was awarded a school golden award for helping her classmate work out some maths problems.

A few years ago after (about 2 years after i got divorced) my ex sent a massive bag of christmas presents my 2 kids were thrilled and extremely excited, i told them to sit down and they could pick out one at a time, my son (W) went first, picked one and said this is for (S) my daughter, next was S, this one is for me, so back to W, he rumages round. This is for you to S have another go i said to W and again for his sister. it suddenly became sickenly clear what my ex had done, the whole bag was for S. W was heartbroken completely inconsolable, S hugged her brother with me and told him he could have whatever he wanted from the presents and she told him she thought their dad had just forgotton to put his name on some, she also bought him a little toy with her own pocket money next time we went shopping which i thought was really kind too.

My daughter is 14 months today. She is already a kind little girl. I love especially how often she comes up to me and gives me a hug without me asking, she also says Awwwwwww!!!!!!!! when she hugs you! She gives everyone hugs, people at the play group, and the dog as well lol!

My little one is too young to show kindness yet, I hope he grows up to be kind and caring like his second cousins.

His second cousin is incredibly caring and has lots of empathy and concern when others are sad. She drew a picture and gave one of her biscuits to the old lady down the road because she worried that she was lonely.
