Cultural transformation begins with the way we raise our children. Every single moment of their young lives plants the seeds of our collective future. The impressions they develop during their childhoods about the world and who they are within it will inform who they become as adults. These impressions create the parameters of what they think is possible and how they choose to show up in the world. As L.R. Knost says, through our parenting we are actually writing the future, “on the hearts and minds of our children.”
“In a very real way we are writing our own future, the future of our world, on the hearts and minds of our children. Let’s think deeply, love selflessly, and act intentionally to write messages of peace and goodness and generosity of spirit on the hearts and minds of our children, our messengers, our hope for a better tomorrow.”
— L.R. Knost, Whispers Through Time
