Sarah shares family motto regarding social inclusion

A mother named Sarah has shared how a single sentence spoken to her children on their first day of school nine years ago has become a lasting family motto. The phrase, “Be friends with the children who have no friends,” was intended as a simple life lesson regarding social inclusion.

Since then, the sentiment has influenced her children's behavior, such as sitting with students who are alone during lunch. Sarah notes that while her children are not perfect and sometimes struggle with the social pressure to conform to groups, the family continues to discuss the importance of noticing and including those who are isolated.
