For many working moms and dads, #parentguilt is a very real thing. When Ashley sees her son do something new or hears him say a new word, letting go of some of the guilt becomes a bit easier.

Practicing kindness helps us to be more deeply attached to other people’s feelings, thoughts and experiences. Compassion begins to develop in the very first years of life. In this unpredictable world, there's nothing more important than being kind and showing your child how to be kind, too. #WorldKindnessDay
