- If I were you,
I would take her to the biggest library in the world,
and tell her that all these books
could not contain your love
for her. (Alyssa laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Hi, welcome to the Disney Princess Club.
I'm Alyssa.
- And I'm Grace.
Today, we'll be talking about kindness.
- And since it's
the "Beauty and the Beast" 30th anniversary,
we'll be watching clips from the movies to inspire us
with a list of ways that you can be kind.
- Kindness goes a long way,
but sometimes it's hard to remember to be kind,
or sometimes, we don't know how to be kind.
- Yeah, for example,
just because you aren't being mean to someone
doesn't necessarily mean that you're being kind.
- Let's get into the list so we can explain further.
- Good idea.
- Now we just wanna say these acts of kindness
aren't the only way to be kind.
And none of them are more important than the other.
- Okay. Number one, accepting people's differences.
This is very important.
We all look different, come from different places,
and have had different experiences.
So in a way, we're all different to someone.
- [Grace] I thought it was awesome
that Belle didn't make the Beast feel bad
for not drinking the soup the way she accustomed
to drinking it.
- Yeah, instead she adapted to a way
that would make him feel most comfortable.
Do you think it's hard to accept people
that are different from you?
- Not at all,
because what makes you different is what makes you unique.
- Wow, that's a good point, Grace.
I think it's really fun to meet new people,
because we can learn so much from each other.
Now for number two, being supportive.
- I'll never get this bone-headed contraption at work.
- Yes, you will.
And you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow.
(Maurice groans)
And become a world famous inventor.
- You really believe that?
- I always have.
- Everyone goes through times
when they don't feel their absolute best.
Sometimes in those situations,
all you need is someone to support you.
- Supportive means when you give comfort,
encouragement, or advice to someone.
Belle's father was frustrated
because his invention wasn't working.
- So in comes Belle.
She encourages her father and reminds him
that she's always believed in him,
and that she knows he can fix this machine,
and win first prize at the fair.
- And that's exactly what he needed to hear.
- Yep, because right after that,
he was inspired to fix his machine and get it to work.
- Especially at times
when you feel like you can't do anything to help someone,
being supportive is just as kind and helpful.
Now for number three, giving good advice.
(Alyssa laughs)
- I'm not sure I can do this.
- You don't have time to be timid.
You must be bold, daring.
- Bold, daring.
(Beast babbles)
- Sometimes we get frustrated or scared
when we don't know what to do.
That's when getting good advice from someone we can trust
can be a huge help.
- The Beast doesn't listen to a lot of people or things,
but he trusts Lumiere as a friend.
So when he felt like he couldn't be brave enough
to tell Belle how he felt about her,
he turned to Lumiere for help,
and Lumiere gave him some tips on how to go about it.
- Lumiere was the perfect person to give advice,
'cause he had experience in love.
But the Beast, he hadn't.
If I were Lumiere, I would have said,
(chimes tinkling)
"If I were you,
I would take her to the biggest library in the world,
and tell her that all these books could not contain
your love for her." (Alyssa laughs)
- What are some ways you could get advice to a friend?
- Well, it's very important to ask
if they want good advice first.
Give them some encouraging words, like,
you can do anything, you're strong.
You can do it.
What about you, Alyssa?
- I give advice to my friends on a lot of things,
like books to read, movies to watch,
and even how to make a good sandwich,
but I only give advice on things I know a lot about.
- I'd love to get some advice
about making my sandwiches later.
- Totally. You gotta add a lot of cheese.
(Alyssa laughs)
Okay. Number four, giving gifts.
- Wait here.
(romantic orchestral music)
(curtains clattering)
- Now, can I open them?
- All right.
Now.
(gasps)
- Giving someone a gift is one
of my personal favorite acts of kindness.
It doesn't have to be expensive or new.
It can just be something from the heart
that you know the person will appreciate.
- It could make someone's day
if you give them a box of their favorite snacks.
- Or if you hand make a card
with their favorite animals on it.
- Or in Belle's case, getting full access to a library.
She loves to read. It's like her favorite thing to do.
And the Beast knew that. So he got her a full library.
That was so kind of him.
What makes gifts special is when you think about the person,
what they like, or what they need.
I was inspired to give my own gift.
Alyssa, check behind your pillow.
- Really?
Um, are you sure, Grace?
(Alyssa gasps)
Oh my gosh. Grace, this is amazing.
(Alyssa gasps)
Oh, I love it so much.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I know you like figuring things out.
So I bought you a LEGO set to build.
- Oh, Grace, that's so kind and thoughtful of you.
I actually have a gift for you too.
Check behind your pillow.
- Really?
- Yeah.
(chimes tinkling)
(Grace gasps)
- Alyssa, thank you so much.
- I know you love to dance
and Belle's one of your favorite princesses too.
So the way her skirt spins around,
it reminds me of how you spin your in your dancing.
(magical music)
(gasps)
- Alyssa, it does look like when I'm dancing.
Thank you so much.
I think we should thank our parents later
for helping us set up the surprise.
- Yeah.
(Alyssa laughs)
- I thought you might like a spot of tea.
- You're, you're a-
(Belle gasps) - Oh!
- Number five on our list is
(drums hands)
- Being helpful.
Sometimes you don't realize you need help
until someone offers, then you're like,
whoa, now that was helpful.
- Being helpful means being useful.
Whether it's giving someone something that they need
or offering your own services.
- If you see someone holding a lot of stuff,
and you're able to help them,
that is very kind of you.
- Look at cute, tiny little Chip offering himself up
to help Belle drink some tea.
- Yeah, that was pretty cute and helpful.
What I like to do to help
is I help my mom make dinner sometimes,
because she does a lot for me.
And I want to show that I care.
- That's so kind of you, Grace.
I love helping my brother fix his room
because he makes a mess, a lot, but he's so nice to me,
and he's one of my best friends.
So I wanna show him that I care for him.
- That's really nice of you, Alyssa.
Last on our list. Number six.
(gong resounds)
Giving compliments.
- That was a very brave thing you did, my dear.
- We all think so.
- Giving a compliment is a polite expression
of praise or admiration.
I like your hat, Grace.
- Yeah. That's a great example on how to give a compliment.
- No, I really do like it.
- Wait.
I still have it on? (Alyssa laughs) I thought I took it off.
It's so comfy, I forgot it was on.
(Alyssa laughs)
That was very brave to do what she did,
so I'm glad Mrs. Potts acknowledged that,
because that's what Belle needed to hear.
- I like giving compliments,
because it makes me feel so happy to see them looking happy.
And maybe it just made their day.
- Whoo, we covered quite a few ways to be kind today.
- Yeah, and there's a whole bunch of other ways to be kind.
These are just some of our go-tos.
- We talked about being helpful.
- Being supportive.
- Accepting people for your differences.
- Giving gifts.
- Giving good advice.
- And giving compliments. I hope our list was helpful.
- Wait, helpful was actually on our list.
- Oh, that's right.
- Well, that's all the time we have for today.
Thank you so much for watching this episode.
I'm Grace.
- And I'm Alyssa. Always remember to be kind.
Until next time.
- [Both] Bibbidi-bobbidi-bye!
