Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Netflix as a part of my participation on the Netflix Stream Team. All opinions are always my own. Back-to-school season is a great time to reinforce the life lessons that are taught outside the classroom. Stuff like sharing, kindness, understanding and acceptance is what makes us who we are when we get older. Teaching the values of kindness and acceptance are as important as any academic learnings.
