***************************************************************************************
Dinnertime Discussion Topics (From The Discipline Partnership Program):
What's something normal to us- like playing video games or watching TV- that might seem strange to kids in other cultures? Would you want those kids to make fun of what we do, or would you rather they be tolerant?
Take Home Tips (Taken from Firm, Fair & Consistent Partnership Planner):
Don't insult other people's race, ethnicity or religion. The best place for your child to learn TOLERANCE is at home.
