One of the things that is so sweet about Laurel is that she is so people focused. When she was a toddler, if a friend at day care was crying, she would toddle over and pat them on the back to try to make them feel better. On Sunday she

And for parents of tweens, here’s an interesting way to help teach compassion to kids:
