Because every adventure is better with friends!
4. They prove that sharing is caring.
Because half a milkshake is better than none.
5. And that care can be expressed without words.
Sometimes you’d rather just hug it out.
6. Children remind us that showing up in the audience can mean the world to someone.
If you care enough, you might even get an onstage shout-out.
7. And that there’s no such thing as being too grateful.
Looks like someone got something special.
8. Young siblings show care by emulating each other.
Because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
9. Young athletes show care by thanking their competitors.
Imagine if they did that on Wall Street.
10. For a child, saying “thank you” isn’t complicated.
In adulthood, a simple thank-you note can go a long way.
11. Neither is giving a gift.
Nothing says you care like a well-crafted coupon book.
12. Children remind us that showing care doesn’t have to cost a lot.
This could last for hours.
13. They know that care takes commitment.
But it’s totally worth it.
14. And that technology makes it easier for us to care for each other, not harder.
Why do you think there are so many different heart emojis?
15. Most importantly, they know you care for others, they’ll care for you back.
“If you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.”
