Be To Others Kind and Good ~ 011
In this full-circle episode, Jenny and Kristine welcome a very special guest — Ava, one of their former kindergarten students who recently graduated from college. Together, they explore what it truly means to be to others, kind and good — the timeless lesson that started in the classroom years ago and continues to shape lives well into adulthood.
Ava shares how those early lessons of kindness, empathy, and community stayed with her through school, friendships, and life transitions. Jenny and Kristine reflect on how witnessing their former students grow reminds them why these foundational lessons matter so deeply. The conversation highlights how acts of kindness — both big and small — ripple across years and generations, proving that the lessons learned in kindergarten never really leave us.
Big Little Lessons
We teach what we live. Modeling kindness as adults gives permission for others — especially young people — to do the same.
Out of respect for our students, we want to note that while the stories we share are real, names have been changed for anonymity. In fact, every student we mention is named “Charlie.” We use that name as a way to honor privacy while still sharing authentic classroom experiences.
