Common misconceptions
  • Believing welcoming is a one-time gesture (it is ongoing)
  • Believing only adults can welcome (children CAN welcome - kindergarten buddy program proves it)
  • Believing welcoming requires money or things (a smile, a name pronounced correctly, sitting next to someone at lunch is welcoming)
