Before school starts just take 5 minutes.
Not to label supplies. Not to plan lunches.
But to talk.
Tell them it’s never okay to make fun of someone’s body, skin, clothes, or lunch.
Remind them not every kid has new shoes, a clean uniform, or someone waiting at home.
Let them know a quiet kid might be going through something big.
That school is for learning not judging.
That teasing isn’t harmless.
Just 5 minutes. That’s it.
Because the kind ones? They’re raised on purpose.
It starts with us.
