Kindness in the Village

"At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents."
― Jane D. Hull

Raising children most definitely takes a village -- especially in this digital age.  Recently, a mom friend reached out to two other moms in the it-takes-a-village spirit.  In one case, she shared with another mom that her daughter was using profanity, to which the other mother replied, "Yeah, I know she has a potty mouth."  Despite this response, my mom friend texted another mother to share some information that she had read about the other mother's daughter while reviewing her daughter's texts.  The other mother was very appreciative.  It is difficult to know when to take the chance and share information with other parents about their children.  It is rarely easy to do, but it's a kindness that can help us to be more informed parents.
