    Tommy was a lively boy, full of energy. But his energy often turned into aggression, causing trouble in class. He would snatch toys, push others, and shout loudly.

    Miss Lily, the preschool teacher, noticed Tommy's behavior. She was concerned about his aggression and the impact it had on the other children.

    Miss Lily decided to talk with Tommy's mom about his behavior. She explained the situation and suggested they work together to help Tommy understand his actions.

    Tommy's mom agreed and thanked Miss Lily for her concern. They decided to meet regularly to track Tommy's progress.

    The next day, Miss Lily introduced a new activity, 'The Kindness Jar', where each child would write down a kind act they did each day.

    Tommy seemed interested. As days passed, he started participating and slowly began to understand the importance of kindness.

    One day, a child tripped and fell on the playground. To everyone's surprise, Tommy rushed to help, offering a kind hand.
