Compassion is so incredibly important and yet also somewhat lacking in our world. Or maybe it’s not, but it certainly isn’t making headlines. Bloggers are trying to change that today with 1000 Voices for Compassion and they’re raises their voices and their words.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Words. Words are so incredibly powerful, and no one knows that better than parents of young children, for better and for worse. I’ll never forget when my 2 year old gleefully said, “Hello, little man!” to our brand new neighbor, who was definitely not little. Sigh.<\/p>\n

I was on Facebook avoiding the fact that I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to write for this post when I saw this clip from Bambi<\/a> in my feed. Leave it to an animated character to make the point that words matter, and that people of all ages need to take care to use kind words.<\/p>\n
