Tiny Tots Tipster: Make the world a better place...

And the world will be a better place . . .

What kind of world do we want to live in? As parents, we are in a unique position to effect change . . . by setting an example and by teaching our children to be kind, to be fair, to appreciate and celebrate diversity, and to recognize and report bullying. The sooner we start, the better! Together, we can try to make the world a better place . . . for everyone.
