"Children Learn What they Live"

If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.

If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.

If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.


If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate.

If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.

If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.

- Dorothy Law Nolte

Danny always seems to be with your children when it is time to eat. He isn't an unhappy child, just a little dirty on the edges and always anxious to stay at your home....You have met his mother, but she always seems a little overwhelmed and she doesn't mingle much with the other neighbors...

How can you help?

The store is crowded, it is hot and the baby is cranky….the toddler decided this is a great time to go hiding under the clothing racks. Too much stress, short tempers and the next thing you know a parent has lost their temper...

We have all been there -- How can you help? Will a smile or a nod or just offering assistance make a difference? If you are that parent, how do you cope?

Be the Difference - raising public awareness of how each of us can help parents and keep children safe in families.

What can you do?

Be the Difference raises awareness of what you can do to keep children safe.
