care about them by being helpful and thoughtful.

If no one were kind, the world would be a sad, lonely place because no one
would care about any other human (or animal) and everyone would only
look out for themselves.
How do I demonstrate being kind?
You demonstrate being kind by first seeing that someone needs help and
care and then making sure that you do what you can to help them out.
Remember, your actions affect others! You have the chance to make a
difference.
