I hope to make a contribution in two areas: (1) Supportive interactions, and (2) Self-control. Specifically, I want to help kids learn how to do those two things from a young age, because I think it can make a big difference.
For a while, I've been having a hard time figuring out how the two relate. I got some help from Rachel, who explained to me that it's all about help - people helping each other, and people helping themselves. That made sense to me. And now, a good friend (thanks, Chuck!) showed me the video footage of Mr. Rogers (not to be confused with Dr. Rogers, but apparently in the same camp) explaining to a hardened senator why his show should get funding.
I teared up twice during this short clip. Even the senator admits to "getting goose bumps." And Mr. Rogers just says those beautiful, simple words, that touch your heart and unlock it. So Beautiful.
