ACTS OF SERVICE 

Love that helps. 

WHAT IS ACTS OF SERVICE:

Some kids feel loved when someone makes their life easier — helping with homework, fixing a toy, making their favorite meal. Acts of service says, “I care about you, so I’m going to help.”

WHAT IT IS:

Acts of service are loving actions we do for someone else. It’s love you can see — not just hear.

Kid-friendly version:

I love you, so I helped you.

Helping = caring in action.

WHY IT MATTERS?

This love language teaches kids:

• We take care of each other

• Asking for help is okay

• Love is not only words, it’s doing

• Serving is a way to show kindness

It’s also a great way for parents to model teamwork at home.

EXAMPLES:

Ways parents can show it:

• Help with homework or a hard project

• Tie shoes / do their hair / help pick an outfit

• Make their favorite meal

• Clean their room with them, not just tell them

• Fix a broken toy

• Set up their art/table/reading spot

Ways kids can show it:

• Bring mom water

• Feed the pet

• Help a sibling

• Pick up toys without being asked

• Help carry groceries

DO IT AT HOME:

• Family help list: make a list of things we can do for each other.

• Service surprise: choose one person in the family to surprise with help.

• Kitchen helper: let your child help cook, wash, or set the table.

• Room reset together: make cleaning a team effort.

Acts of service teaches kids to love with their hands, not just their words.

Let’s raise the love vibration in this world — one helpful act at a time.
