Unfortunately, our children are becoming more and more competitive and agressive toward one another. I pray our parents will change this toward cooperation and kindness. STOP THE VIOLENCE.

Years ago when my oldest son was 3 (he's now 7), it struck me as so sad when he (yes, without prompting) held the door for a woman to go in to a coffee house while she chatted away on her cell phone, completely oblivious to my little boy holding the door from her. I watched his shoulders visibly sink as she walked away without even the simplest of smiles, let alone a thank you. I quickly swooped in to tell him how proud I was of him, hug and kiss him. To this day he maintains that generous heart and I am so proud it makes my heart burst! I love that my boys work everyday to go out of their way to show kindness to others! We’re definitely in on this one!
