Mild and kind (6)

I believe the answer is:

gentle

(Other definitions for gentle that I've seen before include "Clement" , "'Mild, soft, tender (6)'" , "Not stern, coarse or violent" , "Tender - maggot" , "bait used by anglers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the USA Today, The Times and The Sun.
