“Lead By Example: Information for Grown Ups” provides a series of posts geared toward adults. We provide this series to help adults learn and grow their own knowledge base as it relates to the following areas of character and sustainable development:

- Multicultural Competence
- Empathy
- Self Concept
- Civic Engagement
As the grown ups in a child’s life learn more about these topics, they’re better able to provide an example to their children.
