Learning begins the moment a child is born. They learn to cry when they're hungry, need to be changed, need a hug and want your attention. As parents, we listen to their cries and do the best we can to provide for them. As they grow, we continue to do the same, hear their cries, listen to their concerns, embrace their worries and see their actions and watch who they are becoming. As parents it's up to us to provide life skills, to provide tools to cope, to provide a foundation that their voices will be heard, and it all begins at home. While the world unfolds in chaos before us, we still need to provide for our children, and as a parent, this will never change. In my opinion of course. There are some who feel when a child turns eighteen they are on their own. Either way, it is up to us, the adult to provide a firm foundation for a child to establish strong civic values. And again, it all begins at home. You can learn more about Respectful Rabbit here. Shelby Hill of Roy Utah actually used Respectful Rabbit as her platform.
