So in order to bring a resurgence to kindness I created this to teach young kids kindness in a creative way,&#8221; said Agarwal.<\/p>\n<p>Kind Kingdom features interactive games that focus on different values. One example, Clean Up the Kingdom, encourages kids to sort their trash and keep their communities clean.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Abhay came to me after the summer and shared Kind Kingdom with me, and he said &#8216;Hey, I want to run this by you,&#8217; and when he came to my office it was a fully-fledged website encouraging kids to practice different values that are positive in society,&#8221; said Ariel Jespersen, Director of Educational Technology at North Broward Preparatory School.<\/p>\n<p>He even tested the games with his classmates receiving overwhelming approval.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s amazing how he put it together. All the games are really cool,&#8221; said eighth grader, Hunter Catz.<\/p>\n<p>The idea keeps growing, there&#8217;s now even Kind Kingdom apparel for those who want to lead with kindness and wear that message proudly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even if you do a small action, it can make a huge difference. For example, if there&#8217;s a person sitting alone at lunch, you could even just say hi to them, or sit with them, it makes their day,&#8221; Agarwal said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An inspiring eighth grader is using his bright mind and big heart to spread kindness.\u00a0 Eighth grader Abhay&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[506,113,123,125,124,807],"class_list":["post-194780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-broward-county","tag-education","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-south-florida"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
