Kindness, the best medicine

Posted: Updated:

A new study of 9 to 11 year olds found children who were assigned to perform acts of kindness, like sharing their lunch or giving their moms a hug, reported increased feelings of happiness.

Classmates were also more likely to choose them to work on school projects.

Researchers said the more a child has acceptance from his or her peers, the less likely he or she will be bullied.
