Each child's strengths should be challenged and their weaknesses should be bolstered. All children are capable of succeeding. Diversity provides growth. Understanding and enjoying differences between individuals, cultures or races brings personal growth to adults and children. By accepting the differences of others, one learns self-acceptance.
