 | From Amanda Rock, your About Parenting Editor We have a lot of rules in our house, but to me the most important one is Golden: Treat others the way you want to be treated. Simple, but important. Teaching kids about being kind to others isn't something you can do in a day or by reading books -- it's setting a good example through your words and deeds. | |
