Hoagies' Blog Hop: Tolerance and Equality: Bettering Our World
Tolerance
and Equality ~ Bettering Our World. The world is changing every day, but there is so
much more change needed. How can we teach our kids what is right and
wrong without overwhelming them? How can we make it a better world
for our kids and our parents? What can we do to bring Tolerance and
Equality to our corner of it?
How would you add to the conversation? Submit your own blog
here. All voices are welcome.

Cultivating empathy and tolerance in our children and students by
Gail Post in

How do we teach empathy and tolerance?
Gifted children often seem primed for empathy. Some are highly sensitive,

Parents and teachers may question how they can address current events
without increasing fears and anxiety...

so important that the typical
tolerance and support, acceptance (of views) and understanding, fall short;
way, way short...

Tolerance and Equality ~ Bettering Our World by Joy Navan, in
On Gifted Elders

We, the elders, have learned and lived through much of our nation’s history.
We learned in school about the evils of slavery and how it provoked a
division so deep in our country that it took as many as 750,000 lives, based
on recent research. We saw the photo of little Ruby Nell Bridges in her Mary
Jane shoes and carrying her book bag, the first African American child to
intergrate a white southern elementary school. We saw the newscast depicting
John Lewis being beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. We saw the March on
Washington, and maybe we even participated. Yet, time and again, we have
seen the intolerance and inequality as the marginalized in our society
advocate for rights guaranteed them...
