Young children are the future of tomorrow.  It's important for them to understand that no matter how different they may be from others, that their lives matter. 
As parents we have a responsibility to teach our children about the power of kindness. It's also important to teach them that it takes all types of people to make the world a special place.

Teaching children about the need to respect others that they see as different is a very important role we have as parents. Teaching them to embrace their own uniqueness is just as important. We must teach them while the are young, as we as helping them shapes their ideas about the world.
