Tumbleweed Kids


Are we tossing kids out with the garbage after the divorce?  I recently had my 3rd book published “TUMBLEWEED KIDS” and have been teaching for many years. Being a teacher for many years put me on the front lines in observing the mistreatment of children. The over 40 true heart wrenching stories tell the kids side of the story. The stories tug at the heart while providing examples of the effect parents have on their children.  During a conference the parents told me they did not know why their son was not focused. I thought to myself maybe it is because each of you recently had a baby with another person. “Tumbleweed Kids” is helpful to parents and anyone working with children. It is not as instructive as it is an explanation told on a deeper emotional level, the burdens we unconsciously place on children. We need to love our children unconditionally and aid our children into becoming aware of this unconditional love.  Topics of divorce, bullying, drugs, alcohol and jail are a few of the subjects studied. I add the kid’s side to divorce. This isn't a criticism of anyone. it is a call to action, reflection and a review of our parenting skills. Dare to question and change if needed. Add your own comments and or questions.
