For your general knowledge, in most states if a child at school is interviewed by a social worker or school nurse about suspected abuse, they have the right to request a faculty member to be present. Parents generally do not have the right to be notified ahead of time. Children need to know that if someone questions them they can keep asking for a trusted faculty member to be present prior to answering any questions. Having a second person present is ideal because it keeps down dangers of distortion, pushy interviewers, and is |

Poverty. It's a single word and yet it carries so much pain. A child growing up in poverty understands pain, hungry, loss, and doing without. As a child I remember seeing commercials of children starving in African countries. Those images have remained seared into my memory. Why? Because I was poor, but not that kind of poor. I knew the pain I felt from poverty and I could imagine those children's pain. It's easy to talk about children and sponsorship when it isn't your child who is going to bed hungry. |

I cannot begin to tell you how many children have told me that they hate science. Hate science! Really? That is like saying I hate my warm house in the winter or the clean water I drink or even the medicine a sick child needs. Science is involved in everything. It is a life skill, a survivalist skill, an academic class, and a class of imagination. The more science a child knows, the better a child's chance of survival will be. Don't believe me? A child becomes lost in the woods. |

Tell me and I will not remember. Show me and I may not remember. Involve me and I will understand.(Chinese Proverb) Here, in the United States, we have become accustomed to hovering over our young, protecting the wee ones from everything, including their own discoveries. If the world was an utopian society and our children never had to face any dangers or challenges, then that type of spoon feeding might serve our children. Unfortunately, as we have seen with the current economic hardships, we do not live in a perfect world. |

Life Skills For Kids (That Matter) Life skills are skills that a child needs so as to be a responsible, independent person. A skill that your child will carry with them throughout their life. These skills are not simply sweeping the floor or changing a tire, but include such skills as how to react and how to think. Both physical and mental life skills may at some point save your child's life.Don't make the mistake of undervaluing either. Why not just teach survival skills to kids and call it a day? |

IT'S TO MUCH We all realize that children around the world are suffering, Yet we tend to forget that children in the U.S. and other first world countries are also. I'm not talking about lack of food or basic needs. I write about that on another page. On this page, I'm talking about a problem that lives in urban areas and suburban homes across places like New York, New Orleans, Houston, and Orlando. I'm writing about the fact that our children's lives are filled to the brink with schedules and material replacements. |

- Have a Fire Evacuation Plan and discuss it with your child....then walk the child through the plan....lights on and in the dark...make sure the children know where to go and know NOT to reenter the home.
