It begins at home

The original meaning of “charity begins at home” is to say kids learn charity in the home.

I read the above in an online article. So true. The kids do absorb things quickly “from” home, whether you intended to include it in the curriculum or not. They look up to you, whether you realize it on time or not. 

The stories you come up with at bed time become their mantras and foundations for a life time. The suble jokes you pass at home even if you don’t mean them “may” turn into a mean action by the one you’re being watched by “always”. The kids bring the best in you. 

Stories of diversity and inclusion belong in the toddler_bedtime 101 and all degrees of learning. Get creative. Pamper the lawn you seeded, take care of the weeds. 

But, find the balance..take it easy too!
