Lessons in kindness from Steve Hartman

[@ParkerLoboEddieandDora]

I am just going to be playing this video on a loop to get through the next 4 years. We can't let hate and fear win.

[@RichardWingate-s8s]

Go for it, I don't mind

[@olgamountain9904]

I’m an old lady. I’ve had dogs in my life for over 40 years. Right now I have a 170 pound neo mastiff. But when she’s gone, I plan to adopt the oldest dog in the shelter and give him or her the best last days, or weeks or months of its life. And then do it again and again.

[@pamjaramillo1770]

Steve Hartman and his wife are raising great kids!!!

[@MoMo-mo8bg]

I wish everyone had a dad like Steve and a mentor like Gerald.

[@ericamendez2434]

Thank you, I share these videos with my adult children as a reminder. Always be kind. ❤

[@sharlynstocker6375]

We need more of this country wide!

[@dennisjay4155]

This is the only news I watch. It’s good for your soul and I love the wonders of the human spirit.❤

[@MAMAlbertaGirl]

This is the kind of series that EVERYONE needs! Even at 43 it is never too late to learn, re-learn, reaffirm and and bask in the lessons already learned. Truly a beautiful tribute to humanity! Thanks to three of the BEST life coaches that I have ever been privileged enough to learn from!

[@pattyboles1413]

At 75, I, too, am learning from each episode.

[@azizrahman3939]

The fact that his son references the dictionary and a thesaurus and not Google is amazing 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@mikethomsen5096]

I truly believe this is your best segment ever. I love this

[@bevk7320]

It is simply NICE to be able to watch something wholesome in the sick society (especially any form of media) that we live in today. TY

[@dmg-6449]

I'm a retired oncologist, and I simply couldn't stop watching! What a beautiful tribute to so many wonderfully kind people from all walks of life! Thank you Steve and your extraordinary children! I cried with my patients, and I cried hearing these stories. 💖

[@Dani-ICU-RN]

ICU RN here I've been watching these episodes since about 7:00 p.m. like a marathon this is my third one you have to go watch some of the other ones. I can't stop crying and actually made my broken heart feel like it could use a stitch or two🙏🏻

[@daphnelattimer9952]

​​@@Dani-ICU-RN Here to be kind and say I understand your broken heart in some small way. Trust soon that it will be mended with the support of loving family and good friends.

[@katiekat4457]

I only watched the first one with Gerald joining the swim team without even knowing how to swim. I think I'm going to save this and watch one episode each day. I am most definitely going to show that to all the young people I know. I can't believe how mature and how incredible wise he is for his age or for anyone age for that matter. I when they interviewed him and called him wise, his response was that he wasn't wise but listened to wise people. Knowing that distinction alone as a young person sets you far ahead in life as a young person. I see nothing but great success for Gerald and for any children he might have one day. He isn't just a stand out for his age. But instead, he is a stand person .

[@Mary-h7q]

Thank you for the wonderful stories…they were incredibly inspiring!❤

[@IndyPennCham]

I remember watching him pick out a person's name out of a phone book in a phone booth in a city on a map that he picked out. I also enjoyed watching him do stories with his dad. Now, to see him with his children only seems natural. I know his children will be great watch and grow. Thank you.

[@sparkle3000]

Steve Hartman, you are a really good Dad. There are so many people who aspire to earn lots of money then realizes no one actually loves them for them. When someone is kind to you, it lowers your blood pressure, unblocks your heart chakra and helps you get over heartbreak. Thank you for this piece on being kind. 💜💜💜

[@ernestinasanchez5305]

So nice to see these episodes once again. I'm 71 years old and we do need remainders of how marvelous we humans can be when helping others. I had many "Angels" on this earth that helped me, after I run away from home, without speaking the English language. Although many of them are now gone...they're all in my heart. They impacted my life in so many positive ways. I was able to study and obtain my nursing degree (R.N.) in 1976. This is a GREAT inspirational video...watching it on Christmas Day 2023. I have seen so many of your videos throughout the years. Thank you Steve and your smart and beautiful children. Happy Holidays, Marry Christmas and may God bless. 🙏🏻 🎄 💖 ☃️ 🌎 ❤ 🌍 🙏🏻

[@peterlundskow4061]

Every one of these segments deserves every broadcast award out there!

[@sherrisolomon8673]

Thank God for these babies since we have a shortage of adults globally with descency these days.

[@brandip77]

His children are adorable. ❤

[@alannahollander6772]

What an absolutely wonderful program to stumble across! I am often so depressed lately because of what's going on in the world nowadays, but watching this program I find myself smiling for no real reason. Just to know that there are still wonderful things like this happening in the world.

[@DivineGrace-ex1gd]

You've learned a lesson in optimism 🤗❤

[@edmundcasey7765]

FATHER, DAUGHTER, SON COMBO WITH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE EQUALS SUCCESS, CONGRATULATIONS STEVE HARTMAN & FAMILY

[@tinalou2u]

Beautiful to see people with good hearts, especially the gift of teaching children and children teaching adults ❤

[@tulsacaupain2882]

This man is a gift and now I got a chance to get to know his wonderful children. ❤

[@virginiamiller9765]

Steve, Its your kids that melt me! Emmett's eyes are so beautiful! Little Meryl has the prettiest hair! But ofcourse, it is their kindly support and sttentiveness that this old Teacher loves the best! Keep broadcasting kids! ❤😂🎉

[@lisabisco3583]

I cried all the way through the 2.5 hours of this!!!❤ Thank you for this Steve and your two wonderful children! I will be sharing this with my 2 grandchildren on Christmas day. ❤

[@kingsakchefsalif70]

Me too

[@brl0522]

His children are so delightful..

[@kawanablake6261]

I love this show! This is exactly what our children need! Thank you!

[@nadinestapler3881]

This is beautiful. Everyone should watch this. It should be part of childrens curriculum.

[@itsaustraliadayeveryday7234]

Nice to see and hear a good story in this messed up world.

[@vivianasong7271]

Oh, how sweet. I love Steve Hartman's voice. He is kind, you can just tell. And now seeing and hearing his kids, they just emulate kindness.

[@atirad8]

"I used to always watch the Sunday Morning program. It was integral to my preparation for the day before attending church. I am glad to have awakened to this broadcast's exceptional montage of the human experience. It is the best way to inspire and grow the hearts of all, especially our children's development."

[@Omawentloco]

"Feeding the Homeless is the highlight of my life !" 😂😅🤗

[@katiekat4457]

I would be so proud of my children if they acted like Steve's children do. What great personalities they appear to have.

[@Ambassador2theworld]

Bring the tissues and get BLESSED! My heart just expanded 10fold! Kindness is EVERYTHING! Thank you, Steve Hartman, Meryl and Emmett! 🙏🏾💞

[@beckywilliams1388]

Steve Hartman has some exceptional kids ! And loads of exceptional stories !

[@ivonna.tinkle]

Damn you Steve Hartman! His segments make me cry EVERY Sunday morning! The feels! 😿 Yesterday’s segment (12.24.23) a great story about a young man of color who just lost his wife and he became a single father of his 3 little girls, the downstairs neighbor found out and and had people send toys so the kids could have a good Christmas.

[@MichelleBaird-l4t]

Mr. Harman, you are such a good dad! I love your show. Your kids are on the fast track of loving others and impacting a generation. Have a great day and a wonderful new year

[@Jemmyjo]

I remember the story of Quinn and all the incredible people who gathered to entertain him. We have gotten so far away from kindness, as a whole. Giving to others, is truly the best gift to yourself. It’s good to see other stories like this.

[@lisaerl]

What a wonderful video!!! Thank you all for your kindness!!!

[@loridillman3714]

We need this wonderful person all over. If more people were like him we would have peace in this world. Another angel on earth. The other angels were my kids my husband and my husbands family in heaven with him. His cousin who is like like a sister to us. Keep on paying the luv forward ❤️

[@GrantWitham]

The perfect way to start the New Year, thanks!

[@peterburdeos2703]

Cheers Mr. Steve Hartman! Your kids are testimonies of who you are and what you're doing. Open more doors!🎉

[@Shellzeva21]

We need more kids like these protecting our world

[@hwin2545]

We need more young people to stand up to this toxic culture we find ourselves emerged in. They have to live with thus evolving culture and deserve to have their voices heard today!

[@rosierambo144]

This is one of THE best shows/segments on all of television. It’s the kind of thing you watch when you’re feeling down/ sorry for yourself or your situation. The feeling that comes with sharing the smallest kindness with those among us who are not as fortunate cannot even be measured. And kindness is free, so please, don’t be shy. Spread it around generously. It feels really good y’all. Take care everyone and have the best day…EVER!😘🌹

[@carlwatson4486]

Thank you CBS, Geico and everyone making this program. It needs to be shown during prime time at least weekly. I laugh, cry, and even learn. I'm 68.😁

[@kimberlyminnis3202]

Steve you do such a great job. This was so good it had me crying and smiling all the way ❤ Keep up the good job Steve Hartman

[@WendyGraber-mw7br]

You and your kid’s segment is the best thing I have see in many years. You inspire me. I always try to live my life the way your family does and It is so wonderful to see this.

[@sethntinaavis8615]

He and his family are a god sent! I cant watch not one episode with out tearing 😢up.

[@truthsetsufree]

What an amazing little boy!

[@helenstylianou5280]

I love these programmes, you’re brilliant Hartman family! Watching from Cyprus…

[@ehayes7849]

Thank you! A lovely - kind family reminding us of how to live, treat others and ourselves. A wonderful series for all ages.

[@Gloria-t4p]

I LOVE this story.

[@RG-nw6kr]

Im such a cornball, i love this, i love his 2 kid are with him 😭 learning and reflecting on the same lessons

[@kimwoodhouse7891]

These segments should be shown in every school and discussed.

[@lizhall2961]

And Congress! Maybe some politicians would get the hint.

[@kimwoodhouse7891]

Absolutely!

[@kimwoodhouse7891]

Absolutely!

Steve Hartman This is a wonderful Program. Something we need in our world now! Your Children are such a great example of what their parents have given them! You have done good!

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

Great stories. The little boy giving to the homeless. So sweet

[@wandervan.kb71]

In a world of so much hatred, violence, and mental illness this is what everybody needs to watch. I cried so many times over all the beautiful and inspiring stories. Thank you!

[@adaezeemeh-amusa4597]

I've sat here for over 2 hours straight and don't regret a second of it. Thank you Steve and your lovely children, for this reminder that we should never give up on humanity.

[@limetulips]

He just has a great outlook on how to be amazing

[@todayicelebrateme]

Mr. Hartman, watching this segment made me happy and sad. HAPPY to see the kids growing and sad to see them getting older at the same time!

[@PatriciaOakley-n4o]

To all who inspire! Kindness 101 is great, thankyou!

[@gloriaalleyne7135]

I am so happy to see Gerald. I have always wondered over the years what he was doing .Gerald you rock.

[@mitchlancaster566]

Amazing, luv his 2 kids being there

[@janicehaduck6536]

I tried many times to comment on this expression of kindness without success Nothing, I can say can compare with all i.received by watching. I can only say Thank You and Your Family for the experience. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

[@caryburns5509]

When im feeling really crappy, then Steve Hartman sea tp find my way! This is what really makes me happy! Thank you Steve and your kids for kindness 101. If you should find a miniature Schnauzer in your journeys, this would be such a blessing.

[@MsKatydid2012]

Love y'all so much! I started this new year binge watching On The Road here on KZbin. What a great way to decompress and be rejuvenated! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts, your heart, and service to making this world better but also showing the good that's out there. I'm so inspired in many ways to pursue different things because of your shows. I shared the name of your show Steve with my 3 wonderful sons so that they can keep their light & hope alive. I do worry about the state of the world at my age of 64 thinking of their future. It weighs on one son's heart in particular. Being that we all lean towards being sensitive empaths it's hard to not absorb the negative stuff that's going on today. But they & myself are all doing great and I know they have what it takes to be okay. Me too. With God in our lives as well, the impossible becomes possible. Future affordable housing, yikes. We all are getting squeezed to make it there & other ways financially as are most people so we're not alone in that. We can work for change & solutions as you have shown by the examples in your shows. I wish that someday we can have a "shine your porch light day" of all those that are changemakers & peacemakers so that the world can have a visual or something like that, proving there is more good in the world than bad. I think it would be so empowering to know that we have an army of love & kindness out there, that we are not alone in this fight for light & love. I dreamt of an aerial photo from space of all our lights on. I want to leave this hope to my sons before I'm gone. I started a F.B. page Committed to Peace after the pandemic. It has that message of sharing our light and why on the page. I was hoping it would be shared and go viral to get that message out. It hasn't. It's a start. Plan B. Any ideas? Sincerely, Katy Washburn Austin, Texas

[@digwealth740]

These kids! They are so intelligent and witty. What a great dad and wonderful lessons imparted to the children and the world.

[@imapip6313]

How refreshing!!! With all the negative videos that pops up, this is exactly what I needed. THANK YOU 💛

[@Katmcali]

Beautiful children, Steve. They are blessed to have you for their dad.

[@dudemorris7769]

I ❤Gerald! Such a smart boy and wise beyond his years.

[@MsReblynn]

I love how wonderful this is, he is an excellent father doing an inspirational job. ❤

[@MS.QUEENIE5]

Best report I have heard in so long. I learned today.

[@ChristynCraft-je3ri]

I absolutely loved binge watching all these videos!!! This seems like such a good family. The children are surprisingly grown up in their thoughts and do a great job in front of the camera. It's rare to see young people so compassionate. I think Emmett would be good at a job like broadcasting the news. He has the gift of making things interesting!! I think this platform has taken their compassion and turned it into self confidence. I love watching the dad interact with his kids. I pray for huge things for them!!

[@josehpaynepayne4303]

I started watching this program. All of the stories are inspiring and I just couldn’t turn. I just let it play and I’m 60 and I’m considering law school.

[@LSantiago65]

Teach the child the way he/she should go! Great video, it restore faith in humanity!

[@aiqra1618]

Thank you for this program. An excellent example of the morals of life. God willing continue to push to the greater good !!!

[@levaillant1]

Such a wonderful program.

[@tclanjtopsom4846]

I realise there are motivations for this man that are at odds with the program but it is worthwhile to show it to your kids.

[@melaniereginaedwardscarter2013]

He is a wonderful child. I wish more ppl were like him

[@sistapayne1429]

STEVE HARTMAN - and his family ❤ I absolutely 💯 love love love the ‘kindness’ lessons . It’s the BEST WAY For everyday - positivity and a REAL SELF HELP besides hearing nothing but negativity and bad news every single day -- that reporting really wear people down , causes more stress and really NOTHING GOOD - but you and your family go above and beyond by doing this segment ( which is more than a few minutes) BRAVO 👏🏼 TO TOP IT OFF I HAVE OFFICIALLY CHANGED WHERE I WATCH MY NEWS FROM . May you be blessed 🥲 as much as you all are blessing us ❤❤❤ I cannot wait to share this with my children
