What Is A Global Citizen?: Post on Bilingual Babes
I am so thrilled to be doing a post today for the amazing Tallulah of Bilingual Babes. If you missed her guest post here on helping kids deal with being “different,” you must check it out!
When we decided to exchange guest posts, Tallulah asked me to talk more about the concept of raising a global citizen, which is a central focus of my blog and of how we are raising our little Monkey.
