Attention is important for thinking critically, helping kids grow, and doing charity and service. Even better, we can create space for ourselves — and for others — to pay attention without getting defensive and having to explain our motivations all the time.
So, pay attention, create space, and extend the courtesy and the opportunity to others. It’s the neighborly thing to do.
