Citizenship
Today is a very important day in our country's culture. The right to vote is a right that we as Americans too often take for granted. How can we instill the values of responsible citizenship in our young children? How can a toddler learn to become a respected member of the country when they reach adulthood? That is why I do what I do! We hope that as we lead by example and make a conscious effort to raise our children to be good stewards of their country and their planet, they will lead tomorrow's generation. Children develop a lot of their moral beliefs and ethics when they are young as they watch their care givers. So back to our original question...how? This week, don't stop being a good citizen after you leave the polls. There are tons of other ways to show support to your country! Take time to teach your child about responsibility by picking up litter at a local park. Grab some trash bags and gloves and get out into nature. By taking part in this simple task you can teach your children that it is their responsibility to protect and care for the Earth. It is also a good excuse to play outside after all your hard work is done!
