Thoughts
“Stay Calm and Parent On”
One cardinal principle in parenting – a dysregulated parent cannot regulate a child. By regulation, I mean the ability to be present, attentive, attuned and responsive to the needs of the child.
Patriotism is between the ears, not on your head
Displays of patriotism without the requisite actions are incomplete in my estimation.
WOKE is good, not evil
Being woke does not promote hate as some contend. Quite the contrary. It seeks understanding and inclusion, acknowledging history and working to learn from it for a better future.
Aphorisms to live by
Aphorisms tend to ring true, provoking reflection and hopefully inspiring beneficial actions.
Poverty and children – II. Action
For the sake of our children and their families, we cannot let the toxin of poverty continue to be a pervasive stain on our society and our democracy.
