The Author's Reason For the Books And the Blog

Although this is my third blog, I think I should talk about who I am and why I write. I have taught pre-school, kindergarten, first grade and special education students. I am also an emergency technician and volunteered  on my town's ambulance for over thirteen years. During my  teaching years I continued to write at night and on the weekend. I was saddened by the number of women who either hated their mother-in-law or daughter-in-law whatever the case was. I began a 15 year research and survey which led to my first book "The Mother-in-Law Daughter-in-Law Dilemma. My next book was written about my most loved cat who died after living with us over twenty years. My last book was written because I was so disturbed at the number of stressed children. Parents were unaware of the kids thoughts about divorce, siblings extended families bullying, alcohol, discipline and many other subjects. The over forty stories are true and heart wrenching. I want to simply explain through the stories, the impact we unknowingly have on kids. The coarse language and rough handling of our kids is just in need of attention. We need to teach gentleness towards each other and all animals. The importance of empathy, kindness, responsibility rules acceptance and patience is underestimated. Getting back to the basics of school family and discipline in a gentle manner is almost the last desperate attempt to save our country, society, schools and most importantly our families. Love is the key ingredient for everything that deals with kids. I have had the chance to look at the world through the kids eyes and I offer the results of that sight and the challenge to view it for yourself. We can all do better every one of us. We need to try to do better. The questions are why is the child stressed and can we handle the truth.Our kids future whether bright or devastating, depends on our parenting attitude even more than our parenting skills skills. That is why I  wrote the book and share it with others. My blog is open  for suggestions and questions. I welcome them and offer to share my knowledge to the best of my own ability. No question is too ridiculous serious or inconsequential. I especially focused on the divorce theme throughout the book. My sincerest hope is that some marriages will be saved and the divorce rate will go down. I will share some of the stories from my book and some that were not in my book. I will attempt to exhibit the feelings of the kids. I am open for speaking engagements for those who are interested. I look forward to hearing from my audience. It will help me to focus on certain areas.
My Best and God Bless
