HAVE COURAGE + BE KIND

You can teach your child this every day.

Life's not fair.

Life's hard enough as it is.

Look for the helpers.

To raise a helper that makes the world a better place --> be a helper.

(And then teach your child to quesiton the systems that create issues i.e. "I wonder why we couldn't just use a chain link fence here? Who would be harmed? Who would be helped?")

Due to the current weather conditions, and at the recommendation from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department, Omaha Childrens Clinic will delay opening until 10am this morning. Please stay safe today!
