Times are tough in this world. It's more important than ever to spread the love. We should be teaching our offspring to: * acknowledge people. Smile and say hello. * offer help to people who look like they could use it. * listen attentively to everyone, including people they are not close to. Offer thoughtful responses that help other people feel heard and validated. * donate when you one day can, if you can. These small things have an impact and they should be encouraged. :)
