NBC News anchor Ann Curry started the ball rolling by asking people to “imagine what would happen if all of us committed to 20 acts of kindness to honor each child lost in Newtown.” Want to see what people have done? Check out Twitter #20Acts, #26Acts, or #26ActsOfKindness. Acts have included everything from giving someone a hug or kind word to topping up someone’s parking meter to baking cookies for a beloved teacher and even paying off a stranger’s layaway bill. Will you take part? If you are in need of guidance in helping comfort children after this tragedy, or explain about violent events, please have a look at this webpage, “explaining and coping with school violence from CASEL.” 12/20/12
