Many kids have unfiltered access to the internet, including #misinformation. The good news: despite old misconceptions, science shows kids as young as toddlers can start grasping critical thinking. Tips: buff.ly/4fP1Ihq

We understand things best when we figure them out for ourselves. Isaac Asimov thought that schools gave us structure, but real learning depended on personal experience.

Serving people in our communities doesn’t just make them better off, but we get new skills, experiences, and personal satisfaction from it! It also inspires others to help, making the world a little better.

We live in a big world, and people don’t always have the same idea about what’s right and wrong. #Humanists try to do the right thing even when nobody is looking, and take responsibility for their own actions... even when we make mistakes.

When something is unfair to one person, it’s unfair to everyone! One #humanist commitment is to take other people seriously when they say they’ve been wronged, and work toward a solution that’s the most fair for everyone!

Humility means knowing our strengths and weaknesses, our faults and our merits. That doesn't mean we think badly of ourselves, though! We realize we aren’t better or worse than anyone else, so we can appreciate other peoples’ strengths and weaknesses too!

Our world is like a gigantic neighborhood, and we all depend more on one another as time goes by. Many #humanists try to become better people by learning as much as they can about all types of people, like getting to know our neighbors. We all want to live somewhere happy and healthy!

#Empathy means imagining other peoples' situations to understand their experience... like we're experiencing it ourselves. Growing our #imagination helps us become better people!

One value many #humanists commit to is taking care of earth. We think it's important to understand we've damaged the planet, but that we have the power to make positive change to it as well!

There aren't any #humanist "commandments" for how to behave, but some humanists commit to suggestions for good living like the Ten Commitments created by the American Humanist Association.
The first one is seeking truth through #reason, #evidence, and #OpenMindnedness.
