Parenting our children peacefully is a gift of peace to the world. Children learn what they live and live what they learn.

Not coincidentally, the best way to parent a child is the same as the best way to treat other humans... with kindness, respect, compassion, honesty, acceptance, and peace.

Want world peace?Be peaceful. Think the world needs more kindness?Be kind. Want a better world?Be a better person. #wearetheworld

You know that moment right after your child says or does something that pushes your buttons? That oh-so-brief moment before you say or do something in response? That is the moment you have a choice...to react or relate,to command or communicate,to belittle or to be an adult.That moment is a gift of time that can make a lifetime of difference. Use it wisely.

This world is teetering on a knife's edge. Light and darkness. Good and evil. Battling for supremacy. Every light bravely flickering in the deep darkness of inhumanity shifts the balance of the universe toward good. That light is you.

Want to raise kind children? Be kind to your children.

Leave a trail of light behind youEverywhere you go. Whose darkness you'll illuminateYou may never know.

If I leave this world with only kindness as my legacy, it will be enough.

Our humanity is indelibly linked to our treatment of one another. Humane treatment grows humanity. Inhumane treatment destroys humanity. At its roots, humanity is an elegantly simple equation - input equals output.
