At 80 years old, Ted Dreier, of Franklin, Tennessee, displays the same passion for sharing the universal benefits of courtesy as he did at 60, when he began using a unique tool to teach children about kindness.
In 1998, Dreier began his nonprofit organization, Children’s Kindness Network (CKN), to help kids from ages 3 to 8 learn methods for exhibiting graciousness to themselves, other people, animals, and the earth.
