There
are many organizations that are gathering resources to help adults talk
with children. We have collected a few that we've discovered and/or
received, and we pass them along. We will add to the list as we discover
more. As always, with outside resources, use what makes sense to you
and your community, and let go of the rest. There are no right answers.
MESSAGE
FROM THE DALAI LAMA:
"The hour has come for us to demonstrate
at the highest level our most extraordinary thought about Who We Really
Are..."
