Mark and Pete

In this episode, we delve into why “kindness” was chosen as the Oxford Children’s Word of the Year for 2024. Surveying over 6,000 children aged 6 to 14, 61% selected “kindness,” reflecting a growing awareness of mental health and the importance of empathy. We explore the factors influencing this choice, including children’s sensitivity to global events and their understanding of kindness’s impact on well-being. Join us as we discuss the significance of this selection and its implications for future generations.
