Episode 3208:
Allison Carmen shares a small moment in a shoe store that got her thinking about where bullying really starts: with the everyday disrespect children watch adults model.

Quotes to ponder:
"I can tell them not to put other people down but in the end they will follow what I do."
"Complimenting people for their actions and achievements helps my children see that everything is not a competition and we can be happy for other people."
"I cannot guarantee that my children will not be bullies, but I know that they have and will continue to watch me as a role model for how to act at home and in the world."
