How to make Mother's Day more inclusive.

For children of LGBTQ parents and other types of non-traditional families, typical Mother's Day activities in classrooms and daycare can feel isolating.   It's estimated that between 2 million and 3.7 million children under age 18 have an LGBTQ parent, and approximately 200,000 of them are being raised by a same-sex couple.
