Monday Motivation ~ First do no harm, and second to try to do good

"I think we all, as parents, readers, writers, teachers, editors, whatever, have a responsibility to first do no harm, and second to try to do good. But people are so different, and their needs are so different, that what is good for one is not good for another. Doesn't mean that because it's not good for one it should be done away with. But rather, that almost everything is for somebody, and nothing is for everyone. And we have the responsibility to connect with our kids so they can make the right decisions for themselves. And so we can help them understand what they run across.

It also means that we as parents have the right and responsibility to help guide our children in what they are exposed to. And how they understand it. But we must also allow others the same right, even if their choices differ from ours. Because their children differ from ours." Rick Walton
