I feel that our society is becoming less and less tolerant of differences in people. What the difference is is irrelevant, be it religion, color, creed, disability, gender or whatever. Every human being is capable of showing respect for the other and their lives.

In order to stop this downward trend, we need to look at the next generation and the next and so on. Teaching tolerance to very young children would be a step in the right direction, but how? Ideally it would continue on throughout their schooldays, even from kindergarten onwards.

I'd like to hear ideas on what angles this could be tackled from. How could you encourage the development of a tolerant attitude in a young child today to help them and future generations live in a better world tomorrow?

Thanks!
