It takes a (good) village

It takes a village to raise a child (but it better be a good one!).

Today’s signal shows that just about the most important choice a parent can make for their child is to plant them among good neighbours.

Good neighbours in this case, tend to have more 2 parent homes, be well educated, and - interestingly! - have a high sence of civic duty!

In other words : communities with more in home and in community DEEP TIES give kids the best future. (And as we discussed in our Flux Trends & Student Village #303030project youth report- https://fluxtrends.com/report/the-30-30-30-project-report/ -some nations are doing better at that than others.)

So - what are you doing to be a good neighbour?

And how wisely are you choosing your neighbours too?

Let me know.
