Raising Successful World Citizens
|
 When we consider the different types of diversity (religion, disability, sexual orientation, income, gender identity, primary language spoken, and others), we see that our kids are growing up in a richly diverse world. It's important we help them embrace and thrive in the midst of diversity. A guiding set of core values is a gift all parents can pass on to their children. Through the stories you tell, the words you say, and the way you live, you shape your children's moral compass.
