“The kids are happy to get cards from somebody around their age range.”It’s part of an initiative Cohn calls The Friend Send. Parents send Cohn their address and Cohn sends out cards with appropriate messages written on them. You don’t have to know someone really, really well to say, ‘I know you’re struggling. And, he suspects that for the kids writing the cards, this exercise in empathy is also key for development. Cohn says some of the parents whose kids received cards were so delighted that now they and their children are writing cards for others.
