Teaching Our Kids How To Plant A Civility Seed

Just something to be mindful of—

If we teach our kids to appreciate and respect every culture on the face of God’s blue and green planet, then the world really would be a better place. Akin to a small plant, provided nothing has compromised its health or growth, children are innocent with a strong propensity to be groomed. Likewise, if infused with empathy and provided the right social skills, that child will grow up to nurture life in ways that positively benefit society. More importantly, let’s teach our children to grow within the constructs of life wherein their fellow citizens are viewed as equals and not peripheral human beings by way of stereotyping them. We are a small part of something so much bigger than ourselves, and that reality deserves a lot of unyielding attention humanity can’t afford to ignore.
