With an absence of local news, I looked to the UN calendar for inspiration for the Notes.
June 1st was International Parents Day. What with the upsurge in home-schooling and the intensive hours families are in close confines, more than ever each child is shaped and influenced by the actions and beliefs of their parents. It’s a great responsibility. As parents you get to shape the citizens and society of tomorrow.
Looking at the race riots across the US, highlights the anger and injustice when prejudice and fear take hold.
No one comes into this world with prejudices or racist beliefs.
They are learned attitudes handed down from parents and their immediate communities to their children.
In our own small way, let’s continue consciously to promote openess and tolerance so that the next generations will flourish.
