August is back-to-school time for many. As a new beginning and a reset of sorts, it can be more than about just new clothes and school supplies. We can encourage children to be aware of how others are feeling, and to act with loving, intentional kindness whenever possible. And “it’s always possible” (the Dalai Lama). Children hold the key to the change. Let’s all help. – Jane
