Yes. This. You change a society at the child level, and then you ‘grow’ the difference. Not only do we have to BE the change, we have to TEACH the change. [Love this from Walking With Drake]
I’ve had children ask me very bluntly why Drake does this or that… When I tell them they take only a moment to absorb it and generally accept it immediately. I’ll never forget a few years ago, we were in a public pool at a hotel. One little boy was trying to engage with Drake. I explained to him that Drake couldn’t verbally communicate. He simply said, “that’s okay, he still understands me.” ❤️ Teach them kindness and acceptance early, we will have a different world when you do.
