Malcolm: 'That came naturally, that's a gift. I had to work to read.' No truer words in 2020! l work with children with learning disabilities. I'm going to hang HIS words and photo in my school! Going to purchase his books for our school library! Tears.

These lessons are not just for children, they are for everybody. I'm 59 this year and I anxiously look forward to his next segment and hope he never stops doing these. He is truly a national treasure. I love that he includes his children too, both such beautiful children and you can feel the kindness he and his wife have instilled in them.

[@blueturtle1719]

Me Too! I love his stories 😄

[@bethbenham9696]

My husband and I are 58 and 59 and since it was snowing in southern NH this May morning, we lazed around, sipping coffee and binge watched some of this series, the best thing on TV right now. Steve and his kids and their stories are so sincere and real and without hype it's like a balm for the soul. Inspiring for all ages; it's never too late to change or improve yourself. We were already kind people but we've been encouraged to be more optimistic, honest, courageous, not give up on our purpose, and so on. Keep going!!

[@alexandrac418]

I love the show. I am a nurse and still say you have the best job in the world. To travel and meet people, to tell these stories. I always look forward to your shows. I laugh and cry. Thank you for so many great years. Your kids are beautiful.

[@shoshannafachima1306]

I’m adult, mother and grandmother. I’ve just started watching your videos and I am so enjoying the segments. I find the themes so important, the stories so moving and you and your children delightful. Please keep doing this, the world needs this. You are breathing hope into these difficult times.

[@BellaWorldAni]

I love it that Steve thinks this is his purpose. Kindness 101 is one of my favorite things to watch on KZbin. Thanks, Steve & Meryl & Emett!

[@kolohe4169]

Kids have such pure innocent smiles.

[@bigpaulie806]

I just found this. I cried all of the way through it. Happy tears of course. I am almost 65 and can't say I've watched anything on a long time that I've learned so much from. I'm hooked and thank you.

[@chrishoo2]

Thank you for this. I have to confess that it was hard to watch with the tears rolling down the whole time.

[@nomadWalkr]

Meryl & Emmet are v adorable. Thank you for these classes... I am learning a lot...

[@dwightwil7110]

[@annsuttmann4943]

Thanks to Steve and children for a touching lesson in kindness during this corona lock down period. It was very uplifting! Keep up the good work. I think you’ve found your purpose💕

[@evetterichardson1675]

Another Awesome lesson. 😀Thank you so much for sharing so much love and joy. I receive it and truly appreciate it. ❤️🙏🏾

[@infantryveteran2636]

What a remarkable man and family!!

[@nandananda8059]

Been following Steve on his regular program but just found this segment today, LOVE IT 😍

[@maggiebruder2103]

Yes Steve and you do it beautifully. Another great episode.

[@sherryjohnson3915]

I'm 73 and cry thru all your classes. You guys are all "charming".

[@patriciawickholm3617]

Classified employes, bus drivers, cooks, custodians, etc. in a school district are vital to the operation and children.

[@kiwdwks]

You and your family have a great purpose! Thanks again for making my day...

[@Happybidr]

One thing I love about Steve’s interaction with his children is that he is never uncomfortable or even embarrassed by any slightly weird thing that his kids might do or say. And all kids say and do things that are different than what we adults would do. Some people react to that gap as if it is weird. That is a great challenge for all parents. His reactions of pure acceptance tell his kids that his love is unconditional, that he loves them no matter what. If you want you children and later, your teens, to talk to and with you, show them acceptance when they’re a bit different or goofy when they’re younger. It will pay off.

[@yeshiworkgashu3192]

What a kindest human being you are , very blessed kids you have also

[@nancywalter7555]

I agree with Steve. This does seem to be his purpose....

[@nmendozab]

this is amazing, I enjoy a lot your segments on Sundays but this is beyond anything else I had seen before

[@misse0077]

"Maybe you could teach Emmet how to dance" "Please don't"😂😂😂 That was funny and cute.

[@JuniorJR52]

Gosh these videos are so awesome.

[@1sovereignmercy]

Thank you so much for this series. Especially at this time in our world. I was quite encouraged by this one.

[@annewas46]

I love this whole segment. Beautiful stories tied to a theme. So excellent!! People are so interesting.

[@tracie2741]

Steve's face when meryl said is it hard to dance when you're old. So funny.

[@junesorenson279]

Fantastic video!! You’ve not told me what to think, but opened my mind and heart with a question!❤️ As a builder, my purpose is to help others with their dreams. I do it with quality and humor.. bless you and your family..

[@aliciahaley113]

I’ve been enjoying and appreciating each lesson. The episode I watched today included the graceful and lovely ballerina 🩰 of 7 decades. Here in Milford, Connecticut we have an amazing ballerina named Debra Marchese, who directs and teaches people of all ages and abilities. The Adaptive Ballet program provides a comfortable, yet appropriately challenging environment for people with Intellectual and Physical Disabilities to interact and express themselves through dance. The main performance is the yearly production of the Adaptive Nutcracker Suite. Officially, the Adaptive Programs are part of the Milford, Connecticut Recreation Department. Ballerina Mentors from local Dance Companies volunteer to guide and model the participants through the process. It is an amazing program, and I hope that you would discover the magic created by celebrating diversity. Perhaps you might consider a lesson inspired by this heart-warming community celebration of the value of Individuality. 🤟🏼💕

[@therandoms4701]

Wow please help me poor man

[@jetx_47]

While a newly delivered parent tended to a newborn asked her ten-year-old to answer the ringing front door, who is it dear? the boogeyman, came a reply, what do you mean, well he has blond hair and white circled eyes, and orange tinted skin, oh that’s just the President of the United States, let him in…

[@TheRescueDogs]

These are so incredible and even as an adult, I am so grateful for you sharing these. They mean the world.

[@zzzroxyzzz]

lol the look you shot Meryl when she called her old cracked me up. hey, it is what it is kids are literal lol

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Gosh it’s too bad Charles has all that love in his heart but won’t share it with say...underprivileged children who have no dads, serving others in some small way. I can’t imagine that his sweet Louise would want him just sitting around pining for her! It looks like she was a fine woman and worthy of such devotion but you can give some of that love to a kid whose dad is in prison, is a drug addict, is abusive...couldn’t you? I bet she would be real proud of her man for not wasting that love on someone who’s no lonher around to appreciate it but instead pouring it out on a humanity that is crying out for just a small measure of affection. Steve maybe you could introduce him to that wonderful bus driver who gives so much to those little children. Who say he’s the dad they wish their own could have been!

[@bottiquando]

Steve, love your story telling.

[@SamSung-ww3rp]

You have no idea how awesome this series is to people.

[@jackmuth7000]

Grownups can learn about kindness also.

[@jonheller2307]

Not just for children…. Thank you!

[@kmm129]

AAW- how I miss our school. Family IS family.
