I love this so much-Not a parent; Not a teacher--but what a joy-sparking video.

Diana! This means so much. Thank you. Exactly why I made it. We all matter to the young people around us, whatever our role! Thanks for being you.

“It’s not just niceness, it’s science.” YAY science! 🤓 I can’t tell you how much this encouraged me. Not only have been having a rough week, but I’m going to spend the weekend with the kids 6 and under in my family, so you’ve inspired me to be wholly present and tolerate the chaos. Because the reality is, one day, we’ll miss it. 🩷

Oh Brad! You made me cry! You made me remember what are the important things in life, like kids, like love and caring, like excellent adults who believe in kids and are there for them! Keep on doing what you are doing! You are the antidote to despair and indifference in these times of rapid change and uncertainty. You are reminding us that we are all in this together and that every small gesture we make, actually changes the world and perhaps someone's life for the better! And your wonderful sense of humor and whimsy makes it all even more enjoyable and doable! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you and good luck with those drawings! Can't wait to see what your new book will be all about! BIG HUG TO YOU!!!

I shared this with my mom group that is comprised mostly of special needs moms. Talk about parents who show up every day! Thank you for doing what you do and sparking joy!

Brad Montague's avatar

Beth, you are amazing. Thank you SO much. And *yes* to parents of children with special needs. THOSE ARE PARENTS WHO SHOW UP and it matters oh so much. Appreciate you, your heart, and for sharing!
