So I guess the "elf on the shelf" tradition is that some parents have a little elf that moves around every day and kind of watches kids, like a Big Brother looking to see if they do something naughty, to report to "Santa"? I could see where this could be thought to be negative. I think sometimes kids should be "terrorized" and maybe this can be a good thing.
 
On the other hand, one mom thought maybe this idea could be tweaked so she decided to create the "kindness elves" that encourage kids to do good things, and watch and write little notes for good things they can do, rather than just spy on them to make sure they're not doing bad things. I thought the idea sounds wholesome and either or both elves might be a tradition for some parents.
 
What do you think of this "kindness elves" idea? (You can read more on the link)
