In doing this we help others reach their fullest potential and the world is a better place for all. **Everyone makes makes mistakes, judges others unfairly at one point or another, but we can try to do better each day. Even Santa Claus was wrong about Rudolph's red glowing nose at first, right? This story becomes more and more significant as children grow and we, as parents, caregivers and educators can help to reinforce these powerful messages by exploring the story in memorable ways.
