HALACHOS OF ROSH CHODESH
1) Prior to reciting Birchas Hamazon on Rosh Chodesh,"Shir Hama'alos" is recited like it is on Shabbos and Yom Tov, in place of "Al Naharos Bavel" which is said on regular weekdays.
2) On Rosh Chodesh during Birchas Hamazon, after"Bamarom Yelamedu..." the following short Tefilah is added: "Harachaman Hu Yechadesh Aleinu Es Hachodesh Hazeh L'Tova V'Livracha". (See Mishna Berura Siman 682 S"K 5)
On Rosh Chodesh, as on Shabbos and Yom Tov, "Migdol Yeshuos Malko" is said in place of "Magdil Yeshuos Malko" in the "Harachaman Hu Yizakeinu LeYemos Hamashiach..." (See Mishna Berura Siman 189:5)

QUESTION:
I'm not from a religious family but I [myself] am [a religious female]. Am I allowed to make kiddush for my uncles and and male cousins as they don't know how to do it. Also, can I say Birkat Hamazon out loud [and be Motzi them]? Is that a Tzinius problem?
ANSWER:
The Mishna Berura (Siman 271:4) rules that a woman may exempt a man with Kiddush. However, he says that it is not appropriate to do so, unless it is for her family members, which in your case it is, so it would be OK, especially since they are not religious.
Regarding Birchas HaMazon, it is more complicated, as it isn't clear if a woman's obligation to bentch is biblical or not.
If her obligation is only rabbinical, she may not be Motzi a man whose obligation is biblical. Unless, the man ate a small amount and isnt totally satisfied, and then his obligation is rabbinical too and then she can be Motzi him. (See Mishna berura 186:1-3).
However, in your case, where they will not bentch on their own anyway, and here they will listen to your bentching at least, perhaps it is proper. A Rav must be consulted for Halacha L'ma'aseh.

A person who is broken-hearted has a greater tendency to think about his ultimate purpose in this world and this can easily lead to more elevated behavior.
