If we could only get our parents to realize how important play is. Once they can play, feel good about themselves and make choices --- then they can learn to read and write.

We adults need to love and befriend these "little people" to teach them we respect them so they in-turn will feel confident to give others respect. These are the basics. Then we communicate with them and listen to what they have to say to encourage them to listen to others. We then introduce them to new concepts and visualizations. They will seek exercise and fun while getting their breath from the heavier tasks. My great grandson has been following this route ever since he was born 4 years ago and makes me smile every turn of the way. These little people can be awesum!

Gee...where do I start ? It goes beyond teaching children to think critically and take chances. It starts with common sense. Let your children explore, play, have fun. Do not give in to every request for the latest ipad/iphone/video game. Force them to get exercise. Discipline them. Teach them gratitude, empathy, and make them work hard for almost everything they get. That's a start....

God is where everything starts. Which God? Which Church? Why the one true church of course. It doesn't exist anymore. Than is there one true man? Yes. And there will be one TRUE prophet who will turn hearts back to God. This is the base upon which everything else rests.
